A two-year-old boy who fell into a well in Spain was found dead on Saturday, according to reports. Julen Rosello fell 360 feet down a narrow borehole on Jan. 13, while on a picnic with his parents in Totalan, which is off Spain’s southern coast, People reports. After extensive rescue efforts, little Julen's body was finally discovered, regional official Alfonso Rodriguez Gomez de Celis said on Twitter. “Unfortunately at 1:25 a.m. the rescue team reached the spot where they were looking for Julen and found the lifeless body of the little one,” he wrote. It is thought that Julen plummeted down the hole after wandering away from his mother and father. The grieving parents lost another son to a heart attack at age 3 in 2017, the AP notes.
Desgraciadamente A la 1.25 horas de esta madrugada, los equipos de rescate han accedido al punto del pozo donde se buscaba a Julen y han localizado el cuerpo sin vida del pequeño. Se ha activado la comisión judicial. Mis condolencias y pésame a la familia. DEP
