A woman has died after suffering a fainting spell while swimming in Lake Murten. Although the emergency services arrived quickly, the 65-year-old woman from the canton of Lucerne could not be rescued on Tuesday.
The woman was in distress when she swam about a hundred meters from the campsite in Avenches in the canton of Vaud shortly before 4 p.m., as the police wrote in a statement. However, she managed to reach a nearby platform with the help of a companion. She then lost consciousness. Even a heart massage by the rescue services did not help.
