Boy, 16, dies after swimming in abandoned quarry
A 16-year-old boy has died after going swimming at an abandoned quarry.
The teenager had gone into the water at Dawber Delph in Appley Bridge, Lancashire, on Saturday night. But police said he "got into difficulty" just after 21:30 BST. His body was later recovered from the water at the quarry near Wigan. Lancashire Police said the boy had died at the scene. Two other teenage boys have previously drowned at the same site.
A force spokesperson said the boy's next of kin had been informed, adding "our thoughts are with them at this time".Local residents have warned of the danger of the quarry and campaigned to restrict access."When it's hot weather, people come either by train or parents drop them off as that is where they swam," he said."But I think we should wait to see what the coroner says about the boy who has sadly died.
