A man who suffered from epilepsy, who drowned off Tenby's North Beach in August, had not been taking his medication, the Pembrokeshire Coroner heard last week.
David Gwyn Thomas, aged 39, who lived in the town, was described as an active man and a strong swimmer. He experienced small fits about once a month and occasionally suffered a full fit.
A post mortem examination revealed Mr. Thomas had water in his lungs and other signs consistent with drowning.
Blood tests showed Mr. Thomas had not been taking his medication and it was therefore possible an epileptic fit had caused him to drown.
A verdict of accidental death was recorded.
