A 15-year-old boy's body was recovered from Cowbury reservoir near Manchester, following reports of him struggling in the water. This incident is part of a concerning trend, as at least seven people have died in water-related incidents during the current heatwave, which has seen record temperatures across the UK.
Authorities are reiterating warnings about the dangers of swimming in open water, particularly as many fatalities are linked to cold water shock. Experts emphasize the importance of understanding these risks, especially during hot weather when people are drawn to cool off in potentially hazardous locations.
