Man who drowned on first date was 'shouting for help' as date tried to save him

Haydn Griffiths' body was pulled from the water at Pier Head in Liverpool, four days after he went swimming on the hottest day of the year at New Brighton in Wirral, Merseyside,(July 19).

The 23-year-old had been attempting to swim out to the off-shore wind turbines with his companion at around 10.30pm when he got into difficulty and disappeared below the surface.
