A man in his 70s was rushed to the hospital after nearly drowning at Spa Castle in Queens.
According to the Post, a group of women were snapping some photos near the spa's rooftop pool when they noticed the man, unconscious and face-down in the outdoor baths.
“The Jacuzzi was bubbly and there was lots of steam,” one witness told the tabloid. “So it was hard for anyone to see him."
The man, who has not been identified, was taken to Flushing Hospital in critical condition. A Spa Castle spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
