B&Q has reportedly launched an investigation to look into claims that an employee posted a sick tweet about the lake tragedy in Solihull, which led to the death of three young boys, as a fourth remains critical in hospital. The DIY retailer was said to have been notified of the tweet that allegedly uploaded an offensive caption under a picture of emergency services at the scene.
According to Birmingham Live, a screenshot was sent to the company of what seemed to be the tweet, alongside a picture of a man in B&Q uniform. The retailer replied: "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are taking this very seriously and are investigating further."
On Sunday (Dec 11), four children were pulled from the lake, three of whom have now sadly died having suffered cardiac arrests - the fourth remains critical in hospital. A large search operation continued on Monday morning (Dec 12) amid fears that more children may have fallen into Babbs Mill Lake in Kingshurst, Solihull.
