A British holidaymaker, Sian Louise Marshall-Plewes, died after swimming off a beach in Sosua in the early hours of Saturday morning, 2 August. <\/p>\n
She reportedly drowned at 4 am as she ‘cavorted’ with her 20-year-old lover Jose Manuel Cordero close to the popular Sosua Beach.<\/p>\n
She became separated from her boyfriend after being hit by a ‘strong wave’, inhaled water and then passed out and her body was later discovered further down the beach by Civil Defense volunteers. <\/p>\n
Local TV station Musavision reports that witnesses claimed the 36-year-old, believed to be from the Lincolnshire area, was ‘animated and inebriated.’<\/p>\n
Ms Marshall-Plewes had been staying at an apartment in Sosua for one week and was due to fly back to the UK on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Her body was taken to the Cabarete medical center, from where it was transferred to the National Institute of Forensic Sciences.<\/p>\n
Officers from the Deputy National Police’s Criminal Investigation Department are now investigating the incident, which some sources have claimed was a ‘terrible tragedy’.<\/p>\n
