A hero schoolboy died as he tried to rescue three other youngsters who plunged into a freezing cold lake, his devastated family have said. Jack Johnson bravely rushed to help the children after he heard them screaming from the water.
However, the 10-year-old got into difficulty and tragically drowned alongside two other victims, aged 11 and eight. A third child, aged just six, remains in critical condition in hospital.
It is understood that they are all members of the same family. The eldest has since been named locally as Thomas, the Mirror reports.
