The six month old baby, who was thrown off the coast of Fuerteventura on Wednesday afternoon, has died. The child had been admitted in a critical condition to the Insular Hospital on Gran Canaria in a critical condition after suffering a blow to the head.
The child’s 36 year old mother remains in the custody of the psychiatric unit of the Guardia Civil in Fuerteventura, reported to be suffering from a severe case of post-natal depression.
Reports say the mother threw the baby from a ten metre high cliff. The child’s father had apparently tried to get the mother to admit herself to hospital and to take the baby away from her.
