A heartbreaking incident has unfolded in the popular Spanish resort of Salou, where a brother and sister from Birmingham lost their lives during a family holiday. The tragic event has left the local community and authorities in shock.
Emergency services were called to the scene, but despite their efforts, the two siblings could not be saved. The exact circumstances surrounding their deaths remain unclear, with Spanish authorities currently investigating the incident.
Neighbours in Birmingham described the family as "lovely people" and expressed their devastation at the news. "They were such a close-knit family, always together," one neighbour told reporters. "This is just unimaginable."
The Foreign Office has confirmed they are supporting the family during this difficult time. A spokesperson stated: "We are in contact with the local authorities in Spain and providing consular assistance to the family."
Salou, located on Spain's Costa Dorada, is a popular destination for British tourists, particularly families. The resort is known for its golden beaches and family-friendly attractions, including the nearby PortAventura World theme park.
