A “cheeky and funny” schoolboy was killed when he was swept out to sea and became trapped in a whirlpool, an inquest was told.
Zak Thompson, 11, had been playing with his elder brother and their 11-year-old cousin on July 1 last year when they got into difficulties in West Angle Bay, Wales.
His two family members managed to climb to safety on nearby rocks but Zak went under the water.
