A 12-YEAR-OLD girl was electrocuted yesterday (Saturday) by a fairground ride in the Sevilla area.
The youngster, who has not been named, collapsed after getting off an attraction known as 'The Saucepan', a roundabout which goes up and tilts, in the early hours of the morning in Maribáñez, a parish of the town of Los Palacios y Villafranca.
Medics rushed to the scene, where they found the child unconscious with no pulse, but all attempts to bring her round failed.
Another young girl who was on the same ride is said to be in observation in a Sevilla hospital.
A forensic examination on the girl confirmed she died from electrocution, despite MP Carmen Crespo having insisted earlier that she lost her life through 'natural causes'.
Guardia Civil officers spent the whole of Saturday quizzing the fairground organisers.
