The family involved are believed to be expats.
In July 2018 a British youngster drowned in an Algarve swimming pool.
The child was pronounced dead after being pulled out of the water at a villa on a resort known as the Amendoeira resort near the historic town of Silves.
Emergency responders raced to the scene and practiced CPR on the boy, who had been playing with two brothers, but were unable to save his life.
