British boy, 6, drowns in hotel swimming pool during family holiday in Paphos
A BRITISH boy, 6, has drowned in a hotel swimming pool during a family holiday in Paphos, Cyprus.
The young lad tragically died on October 6, at Makarios Hospital after doctors desperately tried to save him.
He was found unconscious by his mother floating in the pool and was in a critical condition.
After being pulled out by a lifeguard he was quickly taken to the Paphos Hospital by an ambulance and put on a ventilator.
After remaining unconscious he was transferred to Makarios Hospital of Nicosia for more treatment but he sadly passed away.
According to local police the boy was on holiday with his mother and younger brother.
This isn’t the first time a Brit has died in Cyprus after guests tried to save a British tourist, 21, after they saw his lifeless body at the bottom of a hotel swimming pool.
The on-duty lifeguards at the King Evelthon Hotel were allegedly too far away to spot him.
Earlier this year a British tourist also reportedly drowned in his Algarve hotel pool in Portugal.
The 27-year-old holidaymaker had a cardiac arrest in the water and couldn’t be saved in time.
