A 3-year-old British boy has died at a vacation resort in the southern province of Antalya on May 28 in a suspected drowning incident.

Callum Salmond from Fife in Scotland was on vacation in Belek with his parents and younger brother when he reportedly drowned in a hotel swimming pool, according to British media reports.

The U.K. Foreign Office confirmed the death of a British national in Antalya on May 28, according to the British newspaper The Sun, but gave no further details.

The exact circumstances surrounding the boy’s death remain unknown although British media reports are describing the incident as “a tragic accident.”

The hotel has yet to confirm the incident.
