Police forensic teams are investigating potential structural failures linked to recent roof work.

Overview

  • The collapse struck around 5:10 a.m. on Calle Sant Francesc, bringing a flat roof slab down through a three-storey dwelling onto a bedroom.
  • Firefighters extricated both brothers during a hazardous operation that saw multiple secondary collapses and left one firefighter with rib injuries.
  • The 12-year-old was stabilized at the scene and taken to Son Espases, where he remains stable in observation, hospital officials said.
  • Response teams included Mallorca fire crews, local and national police, and SAMU 061 units with advanced and basic life support after a code politrauma activation.
  • Manacor’s council called a noon minute of silence, lowered flags to half-mast, and municipal technicians are reviewing the building’s safety as investigators secure evidence.
