British boy, 5, dies after being found at bottom of hotel pool in Egypt

A five-year-old boy tragically died after being found at the bottom of a hotel swimming pool while on holiday with his family in Egypt, and inquest heard.

Kelan Logan-Derench passed away at the El Nile Hospital in Cairo on November 25 last year, despite attempts to resuscitate him.

A written verdict by Birmingham and Solihull Coroner's Court senior coroner Louise Hunt concluded that Kelan's death was an accident. The inquest reported that Kelan was on holiday with his family at the Mirette Hotel in Hurghada when the incident occurred, reports WalesOnline.

He was discovered at the bottom of the pool without his armbands at around 12.05pm, and despite efforts to save him, he was confirmed dead at the hospital. The cause of death was recorded as drowning.

Kelan, of Carhampton Road in Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham,was described as a "cheeky, mischievous, happy little boy" who died just one day after arriving on holiday with his mother, elder sister, and grandmother.

A GoFundMe page set up by family friend Serena Whitehead raised nearly £20,000 to bring Kelan's body back to the UK and cover funeral costs.
