Two men died over the weekend, after swimming in Portuguese rivers.

The first, a Brazilian, aged 37, was reported missing yesterday afternoon, from the Guadiana river, near Mértola. His body was found some hours later.

The second man to drown was a Mozambican, who had gone swimming at the Bitetos river beach, in Marco de Canavezes (Porto district). His body was recovered early evening, by a team of divers from Castelo de Paiva.

Maritime police psychologists have been accompanying both cases.
