A man who performed CPR when a British family drowned in a pool at a resort on the Costa del Sol has said more could have been done to prevent their deaths.

Gabriel Diya, 52, his daughter Comfort, nine, and his son Praise-Emmanuel, 16, drowned at the Club La Costa World resort on Christmas Eve.

Josias Fletchman comforted the children’s mother when medics called off attempts to revive her family.

Spanish police say the deaths were a tragic accident.

A senior leader of the church where Mr Diya was a pastor in south-east London said he died trying to save his children, adding: “That was the kind of man he was.”

Pastor Agu Irukwu, of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, also said that Mr Diya’s wife Olubunmi was a “special” woman who was coping with the tragedy “remarkably well”.

It comes as Mr Fletchman, 35, a British tourist from Manchester who was on a family holiday at the time of the deaths, said safety measures such as a lifeguard by the pool could have helped prevent them.

Mr Fletchman, who has three children, said the ordeal was “traumatising”.

After medics called off attempts to revive the three family members, Mr Fletchman said he held Mrs Diya’s hand and prayed with her.

Her lawyers have questioned the thoroughness of the police investigation – and the recommendation to close the case after one week.

Mr Fletchman said he was surprised police had not spoken to him.

“If it was my situation, my family members, I’d want [police] to speak to everybody. I’d want an investigation… well and truly they should be investigating,” he told the BBC.

He said there were “things that could have been put in place” to prevent what happened.
