Madrid - Two brothers drowned off the coast of the Canary Islands after they were caught by a huge wave while spreading the ashes of a deceased family member at sea, Spanish media reported on Monday.
The family of a teenager on the island of Las Palmas, who had died following an illness and was cremated, had gathered on Sunday for the funeral service on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
While they were spreading the deceased's ashes, three members of the family were swept into the sea by a wave that rose up 6m high.
Two brothers, aged 23 and 36, drowned. A 34-year-old woman was able to be pulled to safety.
