Brit boy, 2, dies after being pulled unresponsive from pool at Ibiza villa as paramedics battled to save toddler
A TWO-year-old British boy has drowned in a pool at a private villa in Ibiza.
The tragic passing happened this morning at a holiday home on the northern part of the hotspot Spanish island.
The tot was found in the swimming pool without a pulse, local news outlet Diario de Ibiza reported.
Emergency services rushed to the property following a report of an unresponsive child just before 11am local time.
They sent one Basic Life Support and one Advanced Life Support ambulance with teams spending an hour trying to save the boy’s life.
But they were tragically unable to.
The death tragically comes less than a week after an eight-year-old boy was left with brain injuries after plunging from his hotel.
The young boy also suffered a skull fracture and broken jaw in Tuesday night’s fall, when he was with his grandma at the time.
The unnamed child went over the edge of his balcony at the Aparthotel Vibra Bay in the holiday resort of San Antonio just before 8.30pm on Tuesday when he had been trying to retrieve a towel.
A few weeks ago, a Brit tourist was fighting for his life after reportedly falling from a third-floor apartment in Ibiza.
The 19-year-old was rushed to hospital after being found unconscious on the pavement with severe injuries.
Emergency services rushed to the horrifying scene in San Antonio where paramedics were able to stabilise the teenager.
Families had hit the sunny island for the half-term break.
But on Tuesday, some found themselves stranded after their flights were off due to poor weather in Europe.
The delays saw Brits flying with easyJet and other airlines stuck at Majorca Palma airport after restrictions were imposed which were “outside [the airline’s] control”.
More than 120 flights were delayed, but it is understood less than 10 were cancelled.
