Black Sunday for drownings in Spain

EMERGENCY services were called out to three drownings on Sunday.

Paramedics were called out at to Cártama yesterday evening, when a three-year-old British boy fell into a swimming pool. Despite attempts to revive him, he died at the scene.

Less than an hour later the emergency services were called to a 50-year-old who had drowned in the sea near Torrox.

And on the same evening, two Romanian women were pulled out of the sea in Castellón in the north of the country. A 46-year-old could not be revived while her daughter, 29, was treated at the medical centre.
