An 11-year-old girl, Lilly Angel Rodgers, dies after suffering a fatal chest injury while playing in mud flats at Wacker Quay near Plymouth in Cornwall. The reports say she is with friends when a pointed branch or root hidden in the mud punctures her heart.

The outlets describe the incident as an accident and provide similar accounts of where and how it happens. The Mirror and Daily Record both reference that she slides or plays in the area and is pierced in the chest, while Manchester Evening News frames it more generally as an “unfortunate accident” during outdoor play. All three identify the location as Wacker Quay and place the event during daytime activity in the summer.

Authorities are not described in detail in the provided excerpts, but the coverage consistently treats the death as the result of an unexpected injury from an unseen object beneath the ground at the beauty spot.
