A 17-year-old boy from Crewe, David-Junior Tita, dies after entering the water with friends at Pickmere Lake near Knutsford during record-breaking temperatures at the end of last month. Multiple reports describe the incident as occurring in the context of extreme heat, when officials and news outlets had been highlighting risks of drowning during the heatwave. Police are reported to have become involved after the teenager was reported missing in the lake. The reports state that he was found deceased following the incident at the outdoor water location. The accounts focus on the circumstances around the drowning—his age, where it happened, and that he entered the water with friends—while offering limited detail beyond the initial discovery and the general heatwave setting. The coverage also notes the timing of events, including that his father was watching reports about heatwave-related drownings when officers contacted him about his son missing.
