Several police patrols and at least three ambulances responded to an emergency call from the hotel, which is understood to have been made just before midday on Friday after a doctor was called.

Paramedics reportedly managed to recover the boy’s pulse using CPR after arriving to find the doctor and local police assisting him, but he is said to have still been unconscious when he was rushed to Son Espases Hospital with a police escort in a “critical condition.”

Local police in the capital Palma were also drafted in to help their colleagues in the neighbouring municipality of Calvia, which covers the resort of Magaluf, and clear roads to make sure the ambulance carrying the youngster reached hospital as soon as possible.

Majorca media did not publish the nationality of the youngster, but well-placed sources confirmed on Saturday he was British.

It was not made clear on the day how long he had been without a pulse and what could have caused the boy to collapse.

Officials have not confirmed if a routine court investigation has been launched, which would be normal practice where a child has died.

There is nothing at this stage to indicate there is anything suspicions about the boy’s death.
