Two British toddlers have been found dead in a hotel room in northeast Spain. The children, believed to be aged one and three, were found at a popular seafront hotel in the Costa Brava resort of Lloret de Mar. The mother of the children, a boy and a girl, is being questioned by local police. Martin Brunt, Sky's crime correspondent, said it appeared the mum had telephoned police to alert them to the emergency. Officers rushed to the 4 star Hotel Miramar at about 2pm and attempted to revive the children without success. Officers are investigating the scene. The cause of death is unknown. Brunt said police were talking to the mother, though it was unclear whether she was a suspect. "The children were found in the hotel room and efforts were made to revive them but the children could not be saved," Brunt said. Bill Bond, a British journalist, based in Spain, added: "According to local newspaper reports, the mother had telephoned the police and the ambulance. "The mother was booked on a holiday and had arrived at the hotel with the children." Lloret de Mar is one of the most popular resorts on Spain's Costa Brava catering for thousands of British tourists every year. The British Embassy in Madrid said an investigation had been launched into the deaths. A spokesman said: "We are in contact with the Spanish police but because the children are minors we cannot say much. "We believe the mother has been arrested. There is an ongoing investigation."
