Freya MacLean, 19, dies after getting into difficulty in the water at the Falls of Falloch, a roughly 30-foot waterfall near Stirling, Scotland. Multiple outlets report that emergency services respond after police receive calls about a woman in distress in the water at the scenic beauty spot last weekend. The Mirror and other reports describe crews racing to the location, where they attempt to deal with the incident.
According to accounts from local and national media, MacLean’s parents pay tribute to her, describing her as beloved by family, friends and the wider community. The Manchester Evening News includes a quote reflecting the family’s grief, while both tabloid reports focus on her being a dancer and note that her death is being treated as a fatal incident following the reports of her being in difficulty.
Other outlets also identify MacLean as a 19-year-old studying at Glasgow University. No outlet included details of the circumstances beyond the initial reports and the location of the incident.
