Around 6:15 p.m. this Wednesday, May 25, the CICU was alerted that a child had fallen into the water, in a private pool in Aigües, from where they took him out in an unconscious state.

The medical helicopter based in the province and a Basic Life Support unit were mobilized to the scene of the events. A neighbor began basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers until the arrival of the health services.
