Drowning of three-year-old: These are the findings of the autopsy - Statements are being taken

Today at 11 a.m., the scheduled autopsy was performed on the body of the unfortunate three-year-old girl, who died in a hotel pool in Paphos.

According to the findings of the autopsy, which was carried out by Angeliki Papetta and Orthodox Orthodox at the Paphos mortuary, the death of the three-year-old girl was caused by drowning in water.

According to the Spokesman of the Paphos Police Department and Head of the Paphos TAE Michalis Nikolaou, the examinations continued at the hotel, while witnesses were called to the Offices of the Paphos Crime Investigation Department to take statements with the aim of clarifying the tragic incident.

As Mr. Nikolaou mentioned, the family of the little girl from Nicosia had gone to Paphos on Sunday for a few days vacation. In the afternoon all the family members were on the sunbeds by the pool.

The little girl asked to swim in the small children's pool but somehow ended up in the large pool.

The hotel has two lifeguards and one of the subjects of the investigations is whether the safety measures were observed, reports the RIK.

The existing regulations for the operation of private swimming pools provide for the existence of a "safety supervisor", with the authority to enforce on all bathers the observance of safety, hygiene and behavior rules.

According to Sigma's journalist, Marios Ignatiou, "little Christina lost her life unexpectedly and the devastated parents as well as the Cypriot society are asking for answers about the causes of the fatal incident.

The questions are many, the most excruciating being how is it possible, August 14, at five o'clock in the afternoon, in a hotel bustling with life, that no one noticed the little girl when she fell into the large pool?

There are many truths that the Police must investigate and shed light on the tragedy, the first and biggest being "where were the hotel lifeguards when the child fell into the pool?"

According to information from SIGMA, Christina was spotted by a hotel patron at the bottom of the pool and was pulled out unconscious.

She was immediately given first aid and a defibrillator was used by a hotel employee with the help of a British firefighter who attended the hotel.

Despite the efforts made both on the spot and later at the Paphos Hospital by the doctors on duty, the little girl did not revive.

The funeral of the three-year-old will be held tomorrow, Wednesday at 17:30 from the Holy Church of Agios Filippou in Latsia.

The family will not accept condolences.
