A tourist in Malta is killed after the island’s “Kissing Elephants” rock formation—an arch—collapses onto him while he is jet skiing beneath it, according to multiple reports. The incident involves a 26-year-old Chinese man who is reported to be pinned underwater by the fallen structure. The rock formation is described as a well-known tourist attraction in Malta.
Several outlets state that the collapse follows actions by another visitor. The reports say an American holidaymaker jumps off the rock formation into the sea, and that the arch collapses afterward. One account adds that the American tourist is “possibly” implicated, framing the link as unconfirmed while describing the reported sequence of events.
The outlets agree that the arch collapse results in fatal injuries for the jet skier. However, they differ in emphasis and do not provide additional verified details about official findings, eyewitness accounts, or an investigation outcome within the text provided.
