The 71 year old man was identified as Mr. Pekks Paiuio Ko Ponen by his wife and distraught daughter who were crying beside his inert body.
A witness said she was in the pool with her husband when suddenly Mr Ponen sank to the bottom.
Another foreigner jumped in and pulled Mr Ponen out and tried to resuscitate him however he was unsuccessful.
