Man, 21, 'on lovely day out with friends' drowned at Crosby beach
A university student on a day out with his friends died after entering the sea at Crosby beach.
An inquest at Bootle Town Hall today, Wednesday, heard Hamza Mansoor was at Crosby beach for a day out before he was swept out to sea at around 7pm on July 20. The 21-year-old Pakistan-born man was paddling in the sea with his friends but quickly found himself struggling to stay afloat as the tide turned.
The Staffordshire University student, who was living in Stoke at the time, was unable to swim and only one of his friends, Usman Aslan, could navigate the water. The group was soon separated before Usman was able to pull himself and friend Rizwan Zahoor onto a rock in the water.
Usman then turned to see where his friends were and saw Hamza, Fida Hasan and Toqeer Ashraf Mohammad all struggling to stay afloat, with Hamza being the closest to him. Usman jumped back in and attempted to save them but he was pushed further under the water as Hamza tried to keep himself afloat.
