(20 minutes later) | |
A British woman is being questioned by Spanish police after two children - believed to be hers - were found dead in a holiday resort in Spain. | |
Police said the children, a boy and a girl both under the age of six, were discovered in a hotel room in the coastal town of Lloret de Mar. | |
The British Embassy in Madrid said an inquiry had been launched into the deaths. | |
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said it was investigating the reports. | |
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." | |
Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported that the children's mother phoned police, who were unable to revive them. | Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported that the children's mother phoned police, who were unable to revive them. |
