A 15-year-old boy dies after drowning in a separate incident from another death reported this week, bringing the UK open-water drowning toll to seven following a record-breaking heatwave, according to multiple outlets. Reports say the boy’s body is found at a beauty spot, though details on the exact location and circumstances are not consistent across the provided articles. In addition to the boy’s death, a 55-year-old woman is reported to have died in a separate open-water incident over the weekend. Together, the deaths take the number of people who have died in open water during the recent period of hot weather to seven. All accounts describe the fatalities as occurring during or after the heatwave conditions and refer to separate incidents involving different victims. The articles do not provide further information on investigations, whether the incidents are linked, or the status of any official inquiries, but they concur on the overall figure of seven deaths in open water and the inclusion of the 15-year-old boy and the 55-year-old woman.
