Heartbreak as dad's 'little angel', 4, drowns on family holiday

A young boy died at Alder Hey Children's Hospital after drowning when on holiday with his family back in 2016.

A risk management company has since admitted health and safety breaches after the four-year-old child drowned in a swimming pool at a caravan site near Grange-over-Sands. The young boy was transferred to the Liverpool hospital where he sadly died.

Luca Hurle, 4, from Newport had been on holiday with his dad Gavin Hurle, stepmother Donna Southcott and brothers Gabriel and Oliver in August 2016. Luca was reported to have been wearing armbands and playing with family 15 minutes before he was found unconscious in the pool, witnesses said.
