A tragic incident occurred at a hotel in Tenerife, where a young girl lost her life in a swimming pool accident. The six-year-old British girl, whose identity remains unknown, was on vacation with her family when the unfortunate event took place. She was found unconscious in the pool at Granada Park Aparthotel in Los Cristianos, where she was staying.
Authorities are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, including why a lifeguard had clocked off just an hour before the tragedy occurred. It is also unclear where the girl's parents were at the time of the accident. The incident was reported to the emergency services at around 6:50pm on May 9, after the girl was pulled out of the water by fellow guests and hotel staff.
According to reports from Canary Weekly, someone at the scene immediately performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the girl, who was still conscious but understandably scared. The police were the first to arrive, and they found the girl in a state of distress. Paramedics quickly arrived and diagnosed her with aspiration pneumonia, which is caused by inhaling liquid into the respiratory tract or lungs.
The girl was rushed to a nearby hospital, but due to the severity of her injuries, she was later transferred to another hospital where she sadly passed away. It is a heartbreaking tragedy that has left the community in shock and mourning. The Granada Park Aparthotel, where the incident occurred, is a popular holiday destination, and this incident has shaken the peaceful atmosphere of the town.
Adding to the sadness, another British tourist also lost their life in Tenerife on the same day. The 23-year-old was reportedly trying to cross a motorway in the resort town of Adeje and was hit by a vehicle. The TF-1 motorway is a busy road that splits the area and is used by pedestrians through bridges to access the hotels and restaurants on both sides.
The authorities are urging everyone to be cautious and follow safety protocols while on holiday, especially near swimming pools and busy roads. Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of the victims, and we hope that proper measures will be taken to prevent such tragedies in the future.
