Devastated family and friends have been paid tribute to a young man who drowned in a hotel swimming pool while on holiday in Cyprus with his family.
Amateur rugby league Ben Woods, 21, was holidaying in Paphos, on the southwest coast of the Mediterranean island, when tragedy struck on Tuesday, June 5. Mr Woods, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, was reportedly found unconscious in a swimming pool at King Evelthon Hotel.
He was rushed to hospital, but died a short time later. Following his death, “devastated” friends and family described the keen sportsman as an “absolute legend” and their “hero”.
