Spanish authorities say rescuers have found in the early hours of Saturday the dead body of a 2-year-old boy who fell into a deep borehole 13 days ago.
A spokeswoman with the government's office in the southern province of Malaga says rescue crews finished digging a tunnel and found the remains of the toddler, Julen Rosello.
The boy fell into the 110-meter (360-foot)-deep narrow dry waterhole on Jan. 13 while his family was preparing a Sunday countryside lunch.
Officials had tried alternative routes to the toddler, whose body was trapped under a blockage of hardened soil and rock some two thirds into the shaft.
