British boy found unconscious in pool on cruise ship

[Ray66]

A six-year-old British boy is in a "grave" condition in a French hospital after being found unconscious in a cruise ship's swimming pool.

 

The child's heart had stopped when he was found, a port official told the AFP news agency.

 

The ship's doctor got his heart beating again and he was transferred to hospital in Brest by helicopter, the Times reported.

 

He was travelling with his parents on the Independence of the Seas.

My husband and youngest son are on this cruise. We are all praying there is a good outcome for this little chap and his family.

I was on this cruise. The captain informed all the guests that the little boy had made a full recovery and was heading back to the UK.

So happy the little guy is going to be okay.

 

Just got off the Jewel of the seas and there were so many kids in the pool. I can see how easy it is for one to slip under with out anyone noticing.

 

We were watching kids even though we have none with us.

 

Made me very nervous:(
