The family were enjoying a trip abroad inside a large hilltop property in Cullera near the east coast Spanish city of Valencia.
The children, aged 14 and 16, spent most of the time sleeping in their top-floor bedrooms unaware of the tragedy that had occurred in the ground-floor jacuzzi.

Police are continuing to investigate the “chain-accident” tragedy involving New Zealand-born Patrick and Irish quantity surveyor Thomasina.
Officers are focusing on the theory the hot tub suffered a “technical fault” which electrocuted the couple, according to local media.

Investigators believe Patrick may have died trying to save his wife.
Post-mortem examinations found marks and scratches on both bodies as well as blood in the cloudy water of the hot tub.
Foul play has been ruled out as there were no signs of forced entry and nearby CCTV cameras didn’t show any suspicious signs.
The family arrived at the luxury £2,000-a-night Villa Luna on August 22 for a two-week holiday.
They are tragically believed to have died just two days into the trip before being found on Tuesday, August 25.
