Teen rushed to hopsital in critical condition after incident at Tenerife hotel
A teenager has been rushed to hospital in critical condition after an incident at a hotel swimming pool in Tenerife.
The horror incident happened on Saturday, July 26 at shortly after 5pm. Emergency services were called to Rafael Puig Lluvina Avenue in Arona following reports a young man was in need of medical assistance.
Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) sent one medicalized ambulance and one basic life support ambulance. Officers from both the national and local police were also in attendance.
The emergency call, which was made by a lifeguard at the hotel, suggested a man was in cardiorespiratory arrest and had symptoms of drowning from the pool of a hotel complex. Upon arrival medics found a 19-year-old man unresponsive so SUC personnel continued the CPR begun by the lifeguard.
After stabilising the victim, he was evacuated in critical condition and rushed to Hospiten Sur hospital. It is not known if the tenager was a tourist or a local.
It comes just days after Stan-Lee Connor, 20, from Birkenhead, died while on holiday in Ibiza with his friends. He had jetted off to the Spanish island with a mate on Tuesday, July 1, for a six-night break but became unwell on his second evening. Stan, as loved ones knew him, was enjoying a night out at Amnesia in San Antonio when he appeared to take ill, his sister Ellie McSherry said.
His friend took him back to their accommodation at Aparthotel Vibra Monterrey. But when his friend awoke the next morning, he discovered Stan had passed away. The 20 year old's death is now being investigated by police.
In a heartfelt tribute shared with the Liverpool Echo by sisters Ellie and Sally, they said: "We lost our beautiful younger brother and son, Stan-Lee Connor, a kind-hearted soul whose heart overflowed with love, and whose life held so much promise. His sudden and heartbreaking passing in Ibiza at just 20 years old has left an immeasurable void in our lives.
"Stan wasn't just our brother, he was the light in our family. He brought warmth, laughter, and kindness wherever he went, and his presence made everything brighter.
"Stan was a proud and passionate supporter of Everton Football Club, loyal through every win and every heartbreak. He also found deep comfort in music, especially the timeless sounds of Pink Floyd. Their lyrics became a lifeline, especially after the heartbreaking loss of our dad last year. Music gave Stan strength, and in those melodies, he began to find his way back to peace."

Disturbing new Marbella burglary case as actress reveals thieves stole Chanel bag and £52,000 Rolex while she slept - days after intruder inspected woman lying naked in her bed
An actress has been left terrified after thieves broke into her Marbella flat as she slept and stole nearly £60,000 from her. Noemi Hopper, a Spanish actress who has starred in a Disney+ series, took to TikTok to vent her frustrations after burglars broke into a flat in Benahavís, Marbella, she and her friends were staying in. On July 21, the five tenants woke up to discover that someone had Noemi's blue Chanel handbag, valued at €8,600 (£7,460), as well as a Rolex watch worth €60,000 (£52,000). It is the latest late-night break in to hit Marbella, after a horrified mother revealed that a pervert burglar broke into her home and leered at her as she slept naked. Noemi said: 'I just woke up and we've realised that last night some thieves entered the house we're staying at.' She said while weeping: 'And they have taken my friend's watch. They have taken my blue Chanel bag. I mean, they must have been super-professional.' Local media reported that while the property she and her friends were staying in normally has a security guard service and alarm, they were not set on the night of the robbery. The young people staying in the flat believe the burglar, or burglars, broke into the house through the living room's sliding door. Spanish cops are now looking into the incident, after Noemi filed a complaint. Last week, a woman told how she felt violated after a burglar broke into her home in the dead of the night and leered at her naked body as she slept. Angie Castillo was in a deep sleep laying next to her boyfriend Alex Varona, 34, when the intruder hold a torch gained entry to their Costa Del Sol property and and 'inspect' her close up. Angie, a mother-of-one, was unaware of what had happened to her until the following day when she noticed her purse was missing and the couple checked the CCTV footage in their home. To their horror, the 32-minute clip showed the masked raider silently creeping around their bedroom looking at Angie on the bed. He appeared to be fixated with her as he repeatedly shone his torch over her body. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline Angie said she could have been raped if she'd been sleeping alone. 'I looked at the camera and my blood ran cold', she said. 'The guy came into the room eight times. He was looking in between my legs, at my intimate parts, looking at my face. He forgot all about the burglary. He was more interested in looking at me.' 'I was very scared, I was shaking. I was in shock. The day before my boyfriend Alex had been in Germany. If I had been alone this man might have raped me. 'Half an hour after he left the house, I went to the toilet. Perhaps if I had seen him I would have screamed. Alex would have done something. But the intruder might have been carrying a knife or a pistol.' Angie Castillo and her partner Alex Varona, a black belt jiu-jitsu champion, were both sound asleep when the pervert burglar entered their home in Marbella last month 'I am still traumatised by this,' she said. 'Before I go to the toilet at night, I look at the cameras. If Alex leaves the bed at night, I jump. I am now seeing a psychologist.' Instead of stealing her gold ring, €400 Philipp Plein watch or other jewellery, he only took €300 in cash from her purse and dumped it. Spanish police are analysing the security footage to identify the suspect, but no arrests have been yet made.

Putin 'assassination' near Benidorm as police probe body found floating in pool
Police in Spain are investigating the death of a Ukrainian who was found in a pool near Benidorm - cops reportedly believe Vladimir Putin's assassins may be responsible Authorities in Spain are looking into whether a top Ukrainian official was assassinated near the popular tourist spot of Benidorm. The death of 61-year-old Igor Hrushevsky comes after a defected Russian helicopter pilot was assassinated in the same gated residential estate nearly 18 months ago. Hrushevsky, a former employee of Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs, was found lifeless , bleeding from one ear and face down in the pool by a Ukrainian neighbour at around 9:30pm on June 29. The passer-by pulled him from the water and performed CPR and called paramedics, but nothing could be done to save him. Civil Guard investigators initially said Hrushevsky's death was being treated as an accident. They said that 'no evidence' suggested it was a crime. Sources suggested Hrushevsky, who had been living at the La Cala Alta complex since February this year, had died from drowning. But overnight, leading Spanish news website El Espanol reported Spain's CNI intelligence agency, the equivalent of Britain's MI5 and MI6 combined, was now investigating whether killers working for Vladimir Putin could have been behind another targeted Costa Blanca assassination. The CNI never talks about ongoing operations, while the Civil Guard in Alicante is yet to respond. Citing sources in the intelligence services, El Espanol said agents are looking into whether there is a link between Hrushevsky's death and that of Maxim Kuzminov. Kuzminov, branded a traitor by Moscow after defecting to Ukraine in 2023. He was shot six times around 5pm after being chased from the second floor of a basement car park underneath the La Cala Alta large residential estate. No arrests have been made in connection with Kuzminov's killing. Spanish police concluded he could have been killed by hitmen working for Russian intelligence. 'As this is a matter concerning national security and the activities of an intelligence service, the members of the centre investigating this matter are doing so with the utmost discretion, independently of any investigation that may be carried out by the Civil Guard,' El Espanol said. 'A discovery of this nature would prove that both crimes were committed in the same way, by professional hitmen working for organised crime, but carrying out a contract paid for by the Russian intelligence services.' A local living in the apartment complex said it was 'clear' Hrushevsky, whom reports say was once the head of the organised crime department in the central Cherkasy and Kirovohrad regions, 'didn't drown'. Identified only as 'Blanca', the resident said 'the water only comes up to my neck and I'm a short person'. Regarding Kuzminov's killing, a car thought to have been driven by a getaway driver was later found burnt out in nearby El Campello. He had been using a false identity which initially led investigators to believe he was a 33-year-old Ukrainian national.. Spanish press said Kuzminov's undoing could have been a call to an ex-girlfriend inviting her to Alicante, a favourite with Russians and Ukrainians who have made their homes on the Costa Blanca. Putin placed Kuzminov on his most-wanted list after he was paid a reported £400,000 to steal a Mi-8 armoured Russian military chopper in a major propaganda coup for Ukraine. Two crew members were killed after landing.
