A British teenager has reportedly died after falling from a building’s seventh floor while on a school exchange trip in southern Spain.
The 15-year-old fell through an open window in an apartment building in Cordoba, according to local media reports.
At 11.30pm on Saturday, emergency services received a call alerting the fall of the schoolboy from the Quesada Chacón Journalist Avenue building.
Local police say they are treating the incident as an accident and are not investigating it as a crime at this stage.
The teenager fell when trying to open a window of the house, according to witness statements.
In a statement, local education chief Inmaculada Troncoso said: “We deeply regret what has happened. We are offering support to the school where the boy was as well as his family”.
When approached by HuffPost Uk for comment, a Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British child who died following an incident in Cordoba in Spain”.
