Overview
- At Pontypridd Coroner's Court, the boy's mother said their 2019 apartment lacked an internal chain, unlike rooms on a prior stay, so the family barricaded the door with buggies and suitcases.
- Theo Treharne-Jones, 5, had Smith-Magenis syndrome, was non-verbal and had a reduced sense of danger, the inquest heard.
- Witnesses reported seeing Theo unaccompanied near the pool, and one holidaymaker pulled him from the shallow end before emergency efforts began.
- Resort staff and guests performed CPR and used a defibrillator before an ambulance took him to hospital, where he died.
- Coroner Gavin Knox said the inquiry will scrutinize pool supervision, guest information and room locking mechanisms, noting he can summon TUI employees though jurisdiction over Greek witnesses may be limited.
