A British teacher is presumed dead after going missing in the sea after he and his friend were hit by a wave while on a Club 18-30 holiday.
Ethan McKen, 24, from Nottingham had just arrived at the Black Sea resort of Sunny Beach, in Bulgaria, with five friends when he was swept out to sea.
A spokesman from Club 18-30, which is owned by Thomas Cook, said that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office had today confirmed the death of a British national is Bulgaria.
Out of respect for the family, it said it was unable to share any specific details until a formal identification process had been completed.
A Club 18-30 spokesperson said: "Club 18-30 reps in resort are offering every support to the members of the party who travelled to Sunny Beach. Club 18-30’s parent company, Thomas Cook, is also liaising directly with the family in the UK, and are arranging for relatives to travel to Bulgaria as soon as possible.
"We remain committed to offering friends and family every assistance at what must be a truly difficult time."
