A THREE-year-old boy is in a critical condition after nearly drowning in a swimming pool accident in Alicante.
Emergency services were alerted at 9.15 this morning when the boy was found floating in an urbanisation pool in Cabo Roig, in Orihuela.
Paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for over an hour on the boy before reviving him, Guardia Civil told the Olive Press.
He was then flown to the Alicante General Hospital by helicopter.
Guardia Civil said the boy, born in December 2015, was in an extremely ‘critical condition’.
According to The Leader, the boy was with his grandparents, who are from Cork in Ireland.
