A tragic incident occurred in Mallorca, Spain, where a three-year-old British girl passed away after being discovered floating in a swimming pool. The child was found by her parents at their rented villa in Pollensa. Despite efforts by the parents, police, and paramedics who administered CPR at the scene, the girl was admitted to Son Espases Hospital in Palma in critical condition. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries the following day.
The Civil Guard is investigating the incident, confirming the child’s nationality as British.
