A two-year-old girl has drowned in a pool in the Granada town of Otura, where the City Council has placed the flags at half mast as a sign of mourning for the “dismay” caused by the event.
As reported to EFE by a spokeswoman for Emergencies 112, the events occurred last Thursday at 8:30 p.m., when the firefighters and the Local Police of the municipality were extinguishing a fire on the GR-3301.
At that time, the parents of the minor appeared, requesting her help after the little girl drowned in a swimming pool, so the firefighters moved and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
The Local Police, meanwhile, required the presence of the health services to 112, and 061 transferred the minor to a hospital in a mobile ICU, although the girl died later.
After what happened, the Otura City Council has lowered the flags to half mast as a sign of mourning in the face of the “consternation” in this metropolitan town, its mayor, Nazario Montes, explained to EFE.
The councilor has shown the “support” of the entire municipal Corporation for the family and has enabled the Municipal Library as a funeral home, as a new one is being built, since a “great attendance” of people is expected to offer their condolences to the family.
The Oturitos Children’s Center, where the girl was enrolled, has also sent a message of condolences and has conveyed “hugs” to the little girl’s parents and siblings, highlighting her “joy, restlessness and her beautiful smile”.
