A three-year-old girl died yesterday afternoon in Torrevieja, after an accident at a building on Marcelina Street in the Nueva Torrevieja residential area. The child was reported to have fallen from the balcony from the sixth floor while her mother attended to another baby in the home. The girl had been watching television in the living room when she began crying in another room, and the tragedy unfolded as she moved toward the balcony railing to play. Investigators from the Civil Guard are leading the inquiry to determine exactly how the events occurred and whether any safety measures were lacking in the apartment.
Witnesses and emergency responders described a scene that has shaken the neighborhood. The family is reported to be of Georgian nationality. Local authorities and rescue services coordinated a rapid response as the incident was reported to the Emergency Coordination Center and the Police at around 7:20 PM Tuesday.
