Political editor for UK television channel ITV Tom Bradby tweeted angrily Sunday morning about how he failed to save a suicidal Greek man, and how police let him die.

Just watched an elderly man commit suicide in Greece by driving his car off the harbour wall in Rafina.

Dived in, tried to help, couldn't get him out. Completely shocking.

Of the 9 or 10 customs officials and police on the quay only 1 went in to try and get him out as the car sank. The rest watched. Jesus…

Am shaking with shock and anger. So much for the Greek holiday trade being business as usual.
