Greater Manchester Police have issued a warning on the dangers of cold water after three children fell through an icy lake and tragically died.
The three boys - aged eight, 10 and 11 - passed away after being pulled from the freezing cold lake in Babbs Mill Park near Solihull yesterday (December 11). A fourth boy, aged six, remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Emergency services were first called to the scene at 2.36pm on Sunday where it was reported four children had been playing on the ice and fallen through. A huge rescue operation was launched and the four children were pulled out in a state of cardiac arrest.
