A tragic incident occurred during a family holiday in Mallorca, resulting in the death of a three-year-old girl who was found unresponsive in a swimming pool. The young girl, Eleri Ellesmere, was vacationing with her parents at Villa Francisca near Pollenca when the accident took place on June 24. Despite immediate CPR efforts by family members, Eleri was rushed to Son Espases Hospital in Palma, where she was later pronounced dead on June 25.
The preliminary cause of Eleri’s death was determined to be mechanical asphyxiation by drowning and respiratory failure. The family, devastated by the loss, described Eleri as a cherished and beautiful child who brought immense love into their lives. Her parents, Joe and Cerys, expressed their heartbreak over the tragedy, emphasizing the unimaginable pain they are enduring.
The grieving family, hailing from Newport, South Wales, expressed gratitude for the medical staff’s tireless efforts in trying to save Eleri. They are now focused on repatriating Eleri’s remains to the UK for a proper farewell. To assist with the funeral expenses, a fundraising campaign has been initiated to support the grieving family during this difficult time.
The fundraising initiative aims to provide financial assistance to Eleri’s parents as they navigate through this heartbreaking chapter in their lives. Every contribution, regardless of size, will help alleviate some of the financial burdens they are facing. The family is deeply touched by the outpouring of support and generosity during this period of immense loss.
