A four-year-old British boy has drowned in a hotel pool in Tenerife.
The youngster was reportedly pulled from the water by a lifeguard in the resort town of San Miguel de Abona shortly before 5pm yesterday.
He had gone into cardiac arrest and was unresponsive, according to Spanish outlet Telecinco.
Paramedics attended but were unable to save him.
A number of hotel guests, including people who identified themselves as doctors, had also rushed to help.
Telecinco wrote: ‘The child died after failing to recover from a cardiorespiratory arrest that required him to be rescued from a hotel pool.’
The boy has not yet been named.
A spokesperson for the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office told The Sun: ‘We are supporting the family of a British child who has died in Spain, and are in touch with the local authorities.’
Two advanced life support ambulances and a medical helicopter were dispatched to the hotel.
