Tributes paid to 'polite' man, 21, who drowned at Crosby beach

Tributes have poured in for an "amazing" young man who died while swimming at the beach.

Hamza Mansoor was at Crosby beach for a day out with friends when he was swept out to sea on July 20, 2021. The 21-year-old Pakistan-born man died as he struggled to stay afloat as the tide turned.

The Staffordshire University student, who was living in Stoke at the time, was unable to swim and at an inquest at Bootle Town Hall yesterday, it was determined he suffered a cardiac arrest. Hamza and his friend Toqeer Ashraf, who was in a critical condition, were rushed to Aintree Hospital, before the 21-year-old was pronounced dead at the 8.20pm.
