SOLIHULL, ENGLAND: In a heart-wrenchingly tragic incident, three boys of ages eight, 10, and 11, have died while a six-year-old remains in critical condition after falling into a frozen lake near Solihull in the West Midlands. The four children were rushed to a nearby hospital after being pulled out, in Babbs Mill Park, Kingshurst.
Emergency services were called to reports of six children falling into the icy water around 2.30 pm on Sunday, December 11. As per Daily Mail, the eyewitnesses present at the scene revealed two children – believed to be under 12 – were playing on a thin layer of ice, when it cracked beneath them and pulled them into the icy waters of the lake. This prompted their friends to run into the water to assist them, only to get into trouble themselves.
