WHILE OPERATING CHERRY PICKER NEAR POWERLINES Article continues below The boy's death is one of many recent incidents involving children swimming to make headlines in recent weeks. The

death tragically comes just two weeks after a four-year-old boy has died after getting into difficulty while swimming in a hotel pool in Tenerife. The tragic incident took place on Thursday

May 22 in Golf del Sur in the south of Tenerife. According to local media the boy had suffered a cardiac arrest due to ingesting a large amount of water while swimming. The alarm was raised

when the young boy was pulled from the pool by the hotel lifeguard and found to be unresponsive. Two advanced life support ambulances and a medical helicopter were dispatched to the hotel.

Emergency personnel continued advanced resuscitation attempts upon arrival, but despite their best efforts, the child was pronounced dead at the scene. In another pool related incident a

four-year-old British boy was left desperately trying to escape after his arm was sucked into the cleaning system of a hotel swimming pool in Majorca. Article continues below Guests are said

to have looked on in horror as the child suddenly became stuck after putting his arm into the pool's suction hole, which was not covered. The vacuum effect from the hole trapped him up

to his elbow, forcing staff at the Hotel Zafiro in Can Picafort, a resort in the north of the island, to call in the emergency services. Paramedics arrived first at the scene but were

unable to free the boy, forcing firefighters to drain the pool and then use a pneumatic drill to reach a pipe leading to the hole. The boy was given a helmet and ear protectors as they

drilled down, before they eventually cut it off at the source around 30 minutes later and freed the boy.
