Three teens dead after rescues from water at beauty spots

Three teenagers have died in separate incidents after being rescued from open water in England as temperatures soared to record highs on Bank Holiday Monday. Police confirmed the deaths of two teenage boys and a teenage girl, all of whom were pulled from various bodies of water.

In Halifax, West Yorkshire, a 13-year-old boy was taken to hospital after getting into difficulty at Leadbeater Dam. He was later pronounced dead. Police are investigating but do not suspect foul play. In Warwickshire, a teenage girl's body was recovered from Kingsbury Water Park. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Meanwhile, in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, a teenage boy's body was found in Rother Valley Country Park after a search operation. Police were alerted when the boy entered the water and was not seen resurfacing. His family has been informed and is being supported by officers.

These tragedies follow the death of 15-year-old Declan Sawyer, who drowned in Swanholme Lakes near Lincoln on Sunday. His father has issued a poignant warning to parents about the dangers of children playing near rivers and lakes, especially during hot weather.
