Zac Efron was rushed to a hospital after an Ibiza swimming pool incident. Sources claim that he suffered a “minor” swimming incident in Spain.
There are unclear explanations around how the “High School Musical” star got into the pool. However, reports say two workers had to rescue him from a swimming pool based in a villa.
Why Was Zac Efron Hospitalized?
The Family Affair celebrity was within the villa's premises on August 2 when the "minor" swimming incident occurred. According to his spokesperson, rescuers conveyed Efron to a hospital where he spent the night for "precautionary measures".
Efron’s spokesperson, while corresponding with newsmen on the incident, stopped short of providing details on the events leading to the incident. However, reports from various sources keep trickling in around the event's details.
Efron was reportedly swimming with friends when he dived too deeply into the pool. Unnamed sources claim the TV star hit his chest against the pool's bottom during the unfortunate dive.
Consequently, Efron ingested lots of water into his lungs, triggering an emergency. The two individuals who reportedly pulled him out belonged to the villa's security outfit, as Efron displayed distress signs beneath the pool.
Following the shocking turn of events, bystanders took him to the hospital to assess his health status. According to X-ray reports in his chest, his bust region was water-free and the medical practitioners discharged him within hours of arrival.
According to reports, Efron deliberately chose to avoid leaving the hospital immediately after getting a discharge to avoid the crowd gathering outside the medical center.
