British Army Cadet has drowned while heroically saving his brother from the sea on a treacherous beach in Spain.
Ethan Chant, 18, rushed into the water at Playa de la Bota beach in Punta Umbria, south west Spain, when his sibling got into trouble on Sunday evening.
He plucked his brother to safety but was swept out to sea by the notoriously dangerous currents.
Two helicopters and three boats with teams from the Guardia Civil, Coastguard and local police were involved in the search for Ethan.

But the rescue efforts were hampered by strong currents and Ethan’s lifeless body was discovered two miles out to sea on Tuesday morning.

He was taken ashore to Playa Flecha del Rompido beach at 10am before being transferred to a forensic centre in the Andalusian town of Huelva.
