Youths still 'dicing with death' at quarry days after teen dies

Youths are still "dicing with death" at the quarry where a 16-year-old died at the weekend.

Residents in Appley Bridge said teenagers are still flocking to the quarry to beat the heat. Emergency services swarmed to the quarry at Dawber Delph, Appley Bridge at around 9.40pm on July 9 after reports a boy had entered the water and got into difficulty.

A body was recovered from the water after a search. Jamie Lewin, from Southport, was found dead at the scene and police said his death is not being treated as suspicious. Jamie's mum, Steph Lewin, said: " He really was one in a million. I'm so happy I was his mum. He was only 16 and so full of life and so happy."
