A 9 year old boy from Vigo died on Saturday afternoon at the San Isidro ski station in Puebla de Lillo, León, after apparently straying from the designated ski area. He suffered a fall and hit his head on some rocks.
A doctor, an assistant and several rescue staff were quickly on the scene as standard protocols were put into operation. A medical helicopter was summoned but was ultimately not needed as the ground staff were unable to revive the boy.
