Dad shares heartbreaking final photo of his son, 5, playing in pool minutes before boy drowned at Atlantic Reach Newquay
A HEARTBROKEN dad has shared the last photo taken of his son, 5, who drowned after getting into trouble in a Cornwall holiday park pool.
The final family photograph of little Robin Caliskal, showed him smiling with his six-month old brother Renas, in the Newquay resort on Monday.
Shortly after the heartwarming picture was taken at Atlantic Reach, the devastating tragedy unfolded.
Robin drowned after slipping out of sight of his mum and dad because of "low lighting" and "barriers" in the pool.
Emergency services scrambled to the family park but the youngster from Plymouth, in Devon, tragically could not be saved.
Dad Cemal said Robin had been with him in the main pool and asked to go to his mum and baby brother in the baby pool.
