Whether any of the victims were German nationals is still uncertain. Search operations for the missing person continued late into the evening but yielded no results.

Authorities had previously issued warnings about high wave conditions. Some individuals reportedly managed to save themselves from the water amid the chaos. National broadcaster RTVE reminded viewers that the Canary Islands had already warned about hazardous waves the previous Sunday. The natural pools, popular among tourists, can turn deadly during rough seas as towering waves can pull unsuspecting guests into the open ocean, and the strong currents often prevent any chance of returning safely.

Tenerife had witnessed similar distressing events just a week prior, with three casualties and 15 injuries reported. Now, the island confronts yet another tragic episode.
