Reports from the Canary Islands indicate several fatal incidents involving maritime rescues and traffic accidents.

In late September, two separate deaths occurred in the islands. In Fuerteventura, a 38-year-old man died following resuscitation efforts after being pulled from the sea at Garcey beach. Simultaneously, in Lanzarote, a man died after being ejected from a vehicle during a rollover on the LZ-2 highway.

In early October, another maritime fatality was reported in Fuerteventura. A man, approximately 54 years old, died after being pulled from the water near Esquinzo beach. Despite the deployment of an ambulance and a medicalized helicopter by the Canary Islands Emergency and Security Coordination Center (CECOES 112), the individual could not be revived.
