He was swept away by a strong rip current and died by drowning,' the Caribbean Guard, Costa Rica's volunteer lifeguard association, shared via Facebook on Monday.

Though the Guard has patrolled there 'over the past few years,' they alleged that they were 'not present' at the time of Warner's death. 'Due to recent aquatic incidents in Playa Negra, we had redirected resources there and to Chiquita, another iconic beach known for its strong currents,' they shared in the statement. Following Warner's shock death at 54, lifeguards from Playa Grande released a statement saying they were not present due to lack of 'resources' They then made an appeal to Costa Rica's president, Rodrigo Chaves Robles, and the government. 'From Caribbean Guard, a volunteer lifeguard association, we make an urgent appeal to the President of the Nation, the national government, the Municipality of Talamanca, and the entire Caribbean community to continue joining forces to minimize this problem, which, sadly, is on the rise ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.' 'We do everything within our reach. We have saved numerous lives in recent years, and if Caribbean Guard didn't exist, the number of drownings would be counted in dozens. We give everything we have to minimize the risks, but without help from the government, clear public policies, and strong support from local business owners, this will continue to happen.' According to the Red Cross, emergency personnel also treated a second person at the scene. An unidentified 35-year-old man was transported to a local clinic in critical condition, and his current status remains unknown.

Teenage boy mauled to death by crocodiles while on walk with family in Mexico
A 14-year-old boy has died after falling into a canal and being attacked by crocodiles in Mexico. Andres Alejandro Santana Hernandez accidentally fell into the waterwhile on a walk with family in Lazaro Cardenas on Mexico's Pacific Coast on Friday. He was dragged by crocodiles into the swamp before his parents could help. Rivers and canals in the region are hotbeds for crocodiles, who kill multiple people each year. Local police divers have started searching the area for the teenage boy's remains. It remains unclear if his body has been recovered. Authorities have warned people to stay away from the canal banks. They also issued safety warnings to visitors and walkers due to the 'unpredictable' nature of the animals, according to The Sun. Andres was part of the local Cortazar Fire Department's marching band and a local altar boy. Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Church confirmed his death in a statement, saying: 'With deep sorrow, but with our hope placed in our Lord Jesus Christ, who has Risen and is the Lord of life, I earnestly ask you to join in prayer for the eternal rest of Andres Alejandro Santana Hernandez, altar server of the main parish, who has been called to the house of the Eternal Father.' A Morelet's crocodile, a species usually found in the Atlantic region of Mexico, is thought to be responsible for the attack. The species can grow up to three metres and weigh about 400 pounds. Also known as Mexican or Belize crocodiles, there are believed to be between 79,000 to 100,000 Morelets in the country. They are known for being aggressive and opportunistic predators and have been linked to at least 12 recorded human deaths.

How I Travel: Electronic Musicians Eli & Fur
Electronic duo Eli & Fur started creating their signature sound as teenagers in London. The self-described platonic soulmates were drawn to the same hypnotic melodies and moody soundscapes that would later come to define their style. Over a decade later, their personal blend of house, techno and melodic pop has launched them onto the global landscape of electronic music's most sought-after acts. Eli & Fur's sound exists in a world that is entire their own, one that centers around hypnotic vocals, booming bass and cinematic synths. This summer, the pair embarks on their most exciting journey yet with Dreams At Dusk - a five-city, open-air party series spanning the Pacific Coast, from Seattle to San Diego, that kicks off on August 16. The series invites fans on a metaphysical road trip through the West Coast sunset with a euphoric lineup designed to illuminate audiences and create space for community, connection and spiritual transformation. On a quick break between tour stops and sunset sets, we sat down with Eli & Fur to talk travel rituals, dream destinations and the places that make them feel most at home in the world. Eli & Fur Eli & Fur My go-to airline is: Eli: British Airways, but if we could fly everywhere on Qatar we would! Fur: Emirates. My favorite seat on the flight is: Window seat, love to make music on the plane while looking out at the views. My go-to in-flight beverage is: Eli: A glass of cold white wine, this sadly sometimes means having to add an ice cube. Fur: Bloody Mary. My favorite airport/terminal is: Doha Qatar terminal. It's unreal. Amazing shopping and food. The second I get on a plane I: Eli: Shoes off and then check the in flight entertainment and decide on a good movie. Fur: headphones straight on. My go-to travel uniform is: Free City tracksuits and an Alo Jumper. Both super comfortable and cozy. My carry-on consists of: A Black Rimowa carry-on and our new favorite purchase - the Search Backpack from Tumi. It fits absolutely everything and goes under every seat. The pieces I take EVERYWHERE are: Eli: A pair of Nike running trainers. I love to run on the road. I also take Seed probiotics. Fur: My own pillow, makes me feel cozy on the flight, and Pique Life Electrolytes. My flying soundtrack is: Eli: Anything by Rufus Du Sol. Fur: Some relaxing jazz. My favorite thing about flying is: Getting to shut off while in the air and just work on music or watch a movie. The worst part about flying is: Turbulence and delays. My one flying hack is: Eli: If you are flying with only hand luggage, take one pair shoes in a tote bag. It gives you lots more space and you can always put them into a duty free bag so you only have two items to carry on. Fur: The seatbelt trick is to put your knees up and clip the seatbelt around your legs. It's a comfortable way to sleep. The second I land I: Breathe a sigh of relief that we made it. As soon as I check into my hotel room I: Check the room service menu. My favorite hotel in the world is: Eli: That's a tie between Heckfield Place in Hampshire, England and Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina, Italy. Fur: Resort Hotel Alex, Zermatt My favorite city in the world is: Nowhere in the world is as magical as Paris. A concierge will know that I prefer: Extra water! My favorite hotel memory is: We threw a party on the roof of the Proper Hotel in Santa Monica to celebrate the release of our album, it was intimate and amazing and we danced as the sun went down. It was a special memory. I conquer jetlag by: Coffee, always. And then Moon Juice Magnesi-Om. My biggest piece of travel advice is: Do it. Take the trip!
