British toddler dies after pool drowning in Mallorca, fourth UK child death in Spain this week

A three‑year‑old British girl was found “floating face‑down” in the pool of a rented villa in Pollensa, Mallorca. Her parents pulled her from the water and police and paramedics performed CPR before transporting her to Son Espases Hospital in Palma. She remained in critical condition and died the following afternoon. A Civil Guard investigation into the incident is ongoing.

The tragedy marks the fourth fatal drowning involving a UK family in Spain within a week. Earlier incidents this month included a one‑year‑old who died after being rescued from a pool in Fuerteventura, a four‑year‑old who drowned in a hotel pool in Lanzarote, and a three‑year‑old boy who fell into a pool at a holiday home near the Costa del Sol.
