Police said he was carried away by a strong current after going for a swim with his wife, who had to watch in horror as a lifeguard attempted to revive her husband to no avail.
The pair raised the alarm as they slid into the water, and lifeguards rescued them both on jet skis.
Both were given CPR, and while his wife was able to be revived, the British man was pronounced dead after being transported to a nearby hospital.
The married couple were regular visitors in Goa and were on holiday for 15 days before the husband’s death, cops said.
Sources told local media the Briton had tied the knot with his wife a year and a half ago, the Mail reported.
An autopsy has been ordered after the tourist’s death was registered as “unnatural” by police.
