Boy, 13, dies during World Cup celebrations in Spain

A joyous World Cup victory celebration in Spain turned tragic when a 13-year-old boy died after part of a fountain collapsed in Salamanca province. The incident occurred around 00:30 local time on Saturday when revelers climbed onto the Árbol Gordo fountain in Ciudad Rodrigo to celebrate Spain's win.

Emergency services reported that two other young people were injured in the collapse. One of them was taken to the hospital with what is believed to be a broken leg. Local media indicated that the structure gave way after several people ascended it to mark the national team's victory.

Ciudad Rodrigo's town hall posted on social media, stating, "What was supposed to be a celebration for the victory in the Spanish National Football Team’s World Cup has turned into a tragedy." Emergency services for Castilla y León confirmed they received multiple calls about the fountain's collapse. This incident follows other World Cup celebration-related deaths, including three suffocation deaths in Mexico City and an epileptic crisis death in Spain earlier in the month.
