British Toddler Dies 12 Days After Rhodes Hotel Pool Incident

Greek police are pursuing a negligence inquiry with several arrests reported.

Overview

  • The three-year-old, reported as Matilda, died in an English hospital after treatment in Rhodes and Crete.
  • Police reviewing CCTV reportedly saw her walk to the pool at 12:10 p.m., with roughly 10 minutes passing before she was noticed.
  • A guest described as a British doctor pulled her from the water and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
  • The child's uncle, a travel agency manager, the hotel owner, and the hotel director were arrested and face negligence-related charges as the investigation continues.
  • On-site checks cited no lifeguard at that pool and no rescue equipment, while defense lawyers contest whether a lifeguard was legally required.
