A six-year-old British boy has drowned in a hotel swimming pool during a family holiday in Cyprus. The boy died after his mother found him unconscious in the water at their hotel in the seaside resort of Paphos.
Despite being rushed to hospital and put on a ventilator, his condition worsened. Still unconscious, he was transferred to Nicosia’s Makarios Hospital for further treatment. He died there on October 6.
