Overview
- Francesca Blease, 11, was found face down in the children’s pool at the Club Jandia Princess Hotel in Fuerteventura on 7 August and died the next day in Las Palmas after severe brain hypoxia.
- Two medically trained holidaymakers—a midwife and an intensive care physiotherapist—performed CPR before she was airlifted to hospital.
- Evidence recorded the pool depth at 10–60cm, with the coroner stating there was no foreseeable risk for a child of her age in those conditions.
- The inquest heard she could not swim and was fearful of water, and that she was not directly supervised when she was discovered.
- An expert proposed she may have lost balance and inhaled water, while reports of a breath‑holding game were rejected as hearsay.
