Thursday, July 24, 2025 - A toddler has plunged to her de@th from a slide after slipping from her father's arms.
The horrific incident happened at a water park in Lopar,
Croatia, on Tuesday afternoon, July 22.
According to local media, the girl from Germany, aged
21 months, is said to have sustained severe injuries after falling from a
height as she and her father descended from the slide.
Other tourists who witnessed the incident said her father
desperately called out for help, saying: "Don't ask me anything... my
daughter is dying."
Emergency services arrived at the scene and secured a
landing spot for an air ambulance, which took the child to KBC
Rijeka.
Upon arrival, doctors immediately began intensive
care.
However, despite the medic's best effort, she succumbed to
her injuries, which were described as serious by local media.
The head of the pediatric clinic, Dr Iva Bilić Čače,
confirmed her de@th and explained: "Numerous serious bodily injuries,
including injuries to the brain and internal organs, have been
verified.
"Despite timely care and all the measures taken,
unfortunately, it was not possible to save the child's life."
An investigation has now been launched into the de@th of the
child.
Police are probing whether there was a defect in the slide,
which had been marked as safe to use with children.
They are also hoping to determine whether all safety
measures were met.
According to Riportal, the owner of the water park, Josip Ivanić, refused to comment on the incident.
