A mum-of-two has told of the desperate search for an 11-year-old girl who died after going missing at a water park in Windsor. Customers at Liquid Leisure near Datchet were told to shout the girl’s name as they looked for her after she got into difficulty on Saturday (August 6), the witness said.
Emergency services including a helicopter, an ambulance and a search and rescue crew were called to the scene at around 3.55pm. The girl was found at around 5.10pm before being rushed to Wexham Park Hospital, but died, Thames Valley Police said.
A mother-of-two, who did not want to be named, said it had initially been hoped the girl would have made it back to shore safely. The 34-year-old woman, who lives outside Reading and was at the park with her sons, said: “Around 3.45pm lifeguards and the friends and family of the little girl started running along the main walkways that run alongside the lake shouting her name.
