An eighteen month old English girl died after falling into a swimming pool at a farmhouse in an area known as Malcandruna, near to the town of Las Cruces, Granada province.
The family apparently lost sight of the girl while they were visiting friends at a nearby farmhouse. A family friend called the Guardia Civil to report her disappearance but then, five minutes later, called again to say that they had found her, drowned in the swimming pool.
The two-metre deep swimming pool only had 60 cm of water in it, but this was sufficient to cause the tragic death of the young girl.
