MADRID, Spain — Spanish health officials say a third British national has died from Legionnaires' disease while vacationing in Spain.
A Valencia regional government statement Friday said the three, aged between 73 and 78, had contracted the disease at a hotel in the eastern town of Calpe.
The Valencia statement said a further 10 Britons and four Spaniards are being treated for the disease.
The U.K.-based company Saga Holidays reported the first two deaths Thursday, saying the Britons had stayed at the Diamante Beach Hotel in Calpe.
The names of the three victims were not released.
The regional government said authorities have taken measures to control the outbreak, including closing the hotel.
