Last year, a six-year-old boy drowned in a swimming pool in a four-star hotel on Mallorca. This incident also occurred towards evening when the pool area was busy. The father left his son unattended for a short time, which led to this terrible misfortune, like HNA reported.
After finding the boy, emergency services attempted resuscitation for nearly an hour, but were unsuccessful. In such tragic cases, a psychologist is often called in to support the affected families. Spanish police launched an investigation and ordered an autopsy to clarify the exact circumstances. This highlights the importance of taking children's safety in the water seriously. Drowning is one of the most common causes of accidents in children under the age of five, which is why parents should never leave their children swimming unsupervised.
