The 'frantic' dad of one of the boys who died in a freezing lake in Solihull waded in to try and rescue them, according to reports.
Four boys, aged six, eight, 10 and 11, were pulled from the Babbs Mill Lake after falling through the ice last Sunday. The 10-year-old boy - named as Jack Johnson - and the 11-year-old boy were pronounced dead that day while the eight-year-old died on Monday.
Yesterday (December 14), police confirmed the six-year-old boy who had been in a critical condition had also lost his fight for life bringing the tragic death toll to four. It has now emerged a father of one of the boys waded into the lake with a dog walker to try and rescue them before emergency services arrived.
