Dad dies from injuries after getting trapped in indoor cave at adventure centre

A father who passed away after being rescued from indoor caves at an adventure centre has been honoured by family and friends. Carl O'Keeffe died yesterday due to injuries sustained at the centre during a birthday party.

The man's heartbroken family say he passed away after the incident on April 22 at Kong Adventure Centre in Keswick in the Lake District. The 49-year-old was reportedly with four children during the party, reports the Mirror.

It was said Carl slipped and became stuck with staff at the centre trying to extricate him before emergency services were called in a rescue mission that took four hours. The dad was then rushed to Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle but died a week later.
