Searches for the missing lifeguard swimmer interrupted

Search efforts for a lifeguard who disappeared in Madeira's sea after being reportedly swept away by a wave have been suspended without results. The National Maritime Authority stated that operations were coordinated by the local port captain and the Maritime Police commander in Funchal. Rescue teams included lifeguards from the Funchal Lifeboat Station and local police, utilizing a drone for aerial support. Starting Wednesday, searches will continue as part of daily patrols by the National Maritime Authority. The lifeguard, who worked at a hotel in the Lido area, fell into the sea during storm Bruna.
