Six-year-old British boy dies in swimming pool at Majorca hotel

Corey Aughey, from Belfast, was involved in an accident during a family holiday at a resort near his Love Island mansion

A six-year-old boy has died after getting into difficulty in a hotel swimming pool  in Majorca.

Corey Aughey, from Belfast, was found drowned in the pool at the unnamed hotel in the resort of Sa Coma on Thursday.

Several ambulances, local police and Guardia Civil rushed to the scene around 5 p.m. and paramedics tried to revive the boy after performing CPR for nearly half an hour, according to Diario de Mallorca.

He was taken to hospital in the island's capital Palma, where he remained in an intensive care unit for three days before his death on Sunday.

The child is believed to have been on holiday with his family at the hotel, located in Sant Llorenc des Cardassar, a short drive from the Love Island mansion.

Confirming his death, a relative wrote on Facebook: "We are a family that wants to let you know that King Corey has acquired his wings.

"The family couldn't get through it without all your support, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your kind donations, now we have to focus on getting him home.

"Please continue to pray that the family has the strength to get through the next few weeks off."

Corey was a scout with the Belfast Scout Group 45, meeting at Ireland's Immanuel Church in Ardoyne.

In a tribute, the church wrote on Facebook: "Tonight, the leaders of the 45th Belfast Scout Group meeting at Immanuel received the heartbreaking news that Corey, a much-loved member of the Beaver Division, has passed away following a tragic accident.

"Please keep the Aughey family in your thoughts and prayers during this very sad and difficult time."

Belfast Scouts Group 45 wrote: "This is extremely sad news and the thoughts and prayers of everyone regarding the 45-year-old who is with his family at this heartbreaking time.

Corey will be fondly remembered by his Beaver leaders as happily loving, always smiling and full of enthusiasm. We will miss him a lot.

"Beaver's parents have been informed. Pastoral support has been kindly provided by our County Commissioner so if you feel a leader or young person wants to take advantage of this, please let me know.  Shankill Youth Football Club added: "Shankill Juniors would like to offer our condolences to 2014 players Colton Aughey, Stephen, Alana and the entire Aughey family over the passing of young Corey. Rest assured."

The incident comes just weeks after a 19-month-old British toddler drowned in a private swimming pool in Aigues, on the Costa Blanca.
