A Dutch estate agent has died after falling through an attic while showing a property in Granada’s Lecrin Valley.

The 55-year-old woman, who had lived for years in the nearby municipality of El Valle, was buried last weekend in the Restabal cementery, according to local municipal sources.

Officials described her as ‘very well loved’ in the area, where she worked buying and selling homes, particularly for foreign clients looking to settle in the Lecrin Valley.

The accident happened on Friday morning in the hamlet of Chite, part of the municipality of Lecrin.

Emergency services received a call at around 11am reporting that a woman had been seriously injured after falling through the opening of an attic space inside a property on Calle Santisima Trinidad.

According to information provided to the 112 emergency service, the woman had been showing the home to potential buyers in her role as an estate agent when, for reasons still unclear, she fell through the attic opening from a height of around two metres.

Paramedics, Guardia Civil officers and firefighters were all dispatched to the scene, while a medical helicopter was also mobilised due to the seriousness of her injuries.

She was airlifted to the 112 helipad before being transferred by ambulance to the Neurotraumatology Hospital at Granada’s Virgen de las Nieves hospital complex.

Despite doctors’ efforts, she later died from her injuries.
