A woman has died after receiving cold water therapy at a camp popular with celebrities including Coleen Rooney and Stephen Graham.
The 39-year-old, who has not been named, was pulled from the water at Breatheolution in Buxworth, Derbyshire on Monday, April 25. It is reported the mum, from Manchester, had been acclimatising to the cold water in the River Goyt during a two-hour session alongside friends.
Derbyshire Police said in a statement: "Several officers attended. Paramedics took the 39-year-old woman to hospital but she was later pronounced dead. There are no suspicious circumstances and we are preparing a file for the coroner."

The cold water therapy has previously been attended by Coleen Rooney, who was there last October, and actor Stephen Graham, who was there just weeks ago. Therapist Kevin O'Neill, runs the camp and charges up to £200 per person for the experience.
Posting to the @breatheolution Instagram page on April 18 about Stephen Graham's visit, Kevin O'Neill said: "A massive thank you to Stephen Graham, Alfie Graham and Pete for heading over for what was such a fun session. An afternoon messing about in the river with the lads is what it felt like but with some serious Buteyko breath coaching and discussions about the origins of anxiety and more."
He added: "We spoke in depth about the importance of where your head and breath is whilst breathing and immersing into cold water, there’s a real buzz about this at the moment but most are missing the point and breathing into fear and subsequently missing out on that vital building of mental and physical resilience. Heavy mouth breathing isn’t for everyone!"
The mum-of-three is understood to have collapsed before being helped out of the river by Mr O'Neill, who performed CPR. An air ambulance landed at the camp but the woman later died in hospital.
