Police in Greater Manchester recover the body of a 15-year-old boy from Cowbury Reservoir near Stalybridge amid a recent UK heatwave. Greater Manchester Police say officers were called after reports that the boy got into difficulty in the water at about 6.30pm on Saturday. A body is later recovered and identified as the missing teenager.
The incident adds to a broader pattern of water-related deaths reported during record-breaking June temperatures. Multiple outlets say the total number of open-water drowning deaths linked to the heatwave reaches seven, following earlier fatalities in other parts of the UK. One report also refers to a 55-year-old woman dying after entering a pool in West Bromwich.
Emergency services and police renew warnings about the risks of swimming or getting into trouble in open water during hot weather. Outlets highlight that authorities urge people to enjoy warm conditions safely and follow guidance around beaches, reservoirs and other water sites.
