Witnesses have described ‘chaos’ and a ‘complete shambles’ as members of the public searched for an eleven-year-old girl who went missing and died at a water park in Windsor
People who were at the park while the fatal incident occurred criticised search efforts at Liquid Leisure near Datchet, claiming teenage lifeguards were not adequately prepared for this type of emergency.Customers were reportedly told to shout the girl's name as they looked for her after she got into difficulty, witnesses said.
She said lifeguards "were screaming to get goggles. I can't begin to tell you how poorly dealt with it was." "I later learnt that they were hoping she'd somehow managed to make it back to the shoreline and was in shock or passed out. "We went back to the car, but it was gridlocked and the emergency vehicles were blocking the exit," she said.
Local policing area commander for Windsor and Maidenhead, Superintendent Michael Greenwood of Thames Valley Police, said: "My thoughts are with the family and friends of the girl who has died as a result of this tragic incident."There was a swift response from all emergency services and following an extensive search of the lake, the girl, who was 11, was located at around 5.10pm and taken to hospital but sadly died.
