A GERMAN toddler has drowned in a private swimming pool on the urbanisation La Siesta in Torrevieja (Alicante).
The two-year-old is the 10th child to have perished in water since the beginning of July, the eighth to drown in a pool and the third in the Valencia region in less than two weeks.
Emergency services say the little boy, who was on holiday in the area with his parents, was taken to the local health centre by his family, but attempts to revive him via CPR failed.
The cause of his drowning, which happened at 15.30hrs yesterday (Thursday) have yet to be clarified.
Four people – three of whom were children – have drowned in pools this month in the region.
