A BRITISH couple have been found dead on a beach while on holiday in the Caribbean.
The husband, 76, and wife, 77, are thought to have drowned off the coast of the Grenadine island of Carriacou, according to reports.

Their bodies were found on Paradise Beach in the village of L’Esterre.
Unconfirmed reports say the man got into difficulty in the water before his wife tried to save him.
The man is suspected to have died in the water.
His wife was rushed to the nearby Princess Royal Hospital where she was pronounced dead, local media say.
Police have launched an investigation and are waiting for the results of an autopsy.
In a statement, cops said the results will “tell us exactly what happened to them but for now, it’s an apparent drowning”, reported Loop News.
Recently, another couple were caught up on a Caribbean island in a horror situation and are feared dead.
Sailors Ralph Hendry and his wife Kathy Brandel are thought to have had their boat hijacked by three escaped prisoners as they were on their way to a restaurant on Grenada.
Suellen Desmarais, Ralph’s sister, told Fox 5 DC: “On Sunday, they went into the town around 3 o’clock because another boater saw them go into town.
“The other boater, when he went to bed, he noticed that they were there because you always look to see who is around you and in the morning, when the boater woke up, they were gone.”
The US couple went missing the same day as three fugitives, Ron Mitchell, 30, Trevon Robertson, 19, and Abita Stanislaus, 25, “escaped lawful custody”, the New York Post reported.
The Grenadian trio escaped the South St. George Police Station and headed to the marina, where they reportedly fled to another Caribbean island – Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Carriacou has a population of around 8,000 and is the second biggest island in Grenada.
