Three boys aged 11, 10 and eight have died after being pulled from an icy lake in Solihull on Sunday, West Midlands Police said.
A fourth boy, aged six, still remains in critical condition following the incident. Police have also confirmed that a search of the lake is continuing after reports of up to six children fell in.
However, authorities have warned that it is "no longer a search and rescue operation". After the rescue team pulled out the four children, they were all in a state of cardiac arrest.
