A teenage boy died after getting into difficulty while swimming in a canal.
The 14-year-old boy was swimming close to a lock at Knostrop Fall Lock 3, off George Mann Road in Hunslet, Leeds, at around 4.30pm on Saturday, April 8. The boy disappeared under the water in front of a group of horrified friends who tried to save him from the water.
Emergency services were also called but despite their best efforts, the boy's body was pulled from the lock around an hour and a half later. LeedsLive reported the boy's death is not being treated as suspicious and a file is being prepared for the coroner.
