Five-year-old boy hospitalized in ICU after falling from 10 meters in a hotel in L'Hospitalet
A five-year-old boy is in intensive care after falling from a height of 10 meters during a wedding at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower hotel.
A tragic accident occurred last Sunday at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower hotel in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, where a five-year-old boy fell from a height of 10 meters. The incident took place during a wedding ceremony, and following the fall, the child was admitted to the ICU at the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu in Esplugues de Llobregat. Authorities confirmed that there are no signs of criminal activity surrounding the accident, and sources from the Catalan police, known as the Mossos d'Esquadra, have indicated that no investigation is currently underway.
This incident marks a sad recurrence at the hotel, as it follows a similar accident that occurred two months earlier when an adult fell from the hotel's dome. The hotel, formerly known as the Hesperia Tower, has been the center of attention due to these incidents, raising concerns about safety measures in place to prevent such falls, especially in locations where events like weddings are held, often with children in attendance.
Local authorities, along with the community, are now left to grapple with the implications of the accident as they await updates on the child's condition. While this type of event is somewhat rare, it underscores the importance of ensuring adequate safety protocols in venues that cater to large gatherings and families, prompting discussions on how to better protect vulnerable individuals in such environments.
