Body found in search for 12-year-old boy missing in Lancashire river

A 12-year-old boy drowned in River Ribble, Lancashire, with at least four additional water-related deaths reported across the UK including a 13-year-old boy, teenage girl, teenage boy, and man in his 60s.

As record-breaking heat swept across Britain in late May, the cool depths of rivers, lakes, and coastal waters became a hidden peril for those seeking relief. A 12-year-old boy drowned in Lancashire's River Ribble, one of at least five water-related deaths in a matter of days — a toll that reflects a quiet, recurring tragedy: the dangerous gap between the warmth of the air and the cold shock of the water beneath it. For the seventh year running, more people drowned inland than at sea, a reminder that the most familiar landscapes can carry the least visible risks.
