(CNN) Rescuers have recovered the body of a toddler who fell down a 360-foot (110-meter) well almost two weeks ago, according to local officials in Andalusia, southern Spain.

Two-year-old Julen Roselló had been in the countryside with his family near the village of Totalán in the southern province of Málaga on January 13 when he stumbled into the well, which is 9 inches in diameter.

Saturday's grim discovery ended a frantic search for the boy, and came just over a week after rescuers found "biological traces" of him inside the well.

"Unfortunately at 1.25 am this morning, the rescue teams have accessed the point of the well where Julen was sought and have located the lifeless body of the child. My condolences and condolences to the family. R.I.P.," Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis, a delegate of the government of Spain in Andalusia, tweeted.

The well was bored in December during efforts to find groundwater but was not covered or otherwise secured, AFP reports.
