A man, who was on the boat at the time and doesnt want to be named, told the Sun: I could hear the womans daughter wailing, as she knew that there was something seriously wrong with her mum.
They got the lady back on and they were doing chest compression, but at no point were there any breaths given.
Im screaming at them “open her airways” but they pushed me back.
The incident happened exactly one week after a British couple mysteriously died at the same resort, also on a Thomas Cook holiday.
The holiday company has since suspended all boat tours in the area while they investigate.
A Thomas Cook spokesman said: We can confirm that one of our customers sadly died last week while on an excursion in Egypt.
We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family, and our welfare team continue to do all they can to support them at this time.
