The tragedy occurred around 5.30 pm when Corey Aughey, 6, was found in the hotel pool in Sa Coma in the Sant Llorenc des Cardassar municipality.
Reports say that his parents, Colin and Leanne, lost sight of him for several minutes.

Paramedics managed to recover Corey’s pulse in 30 minutes of procedures.
The youngster, however, died a few minutes later.
