A 6-year-old boy who was in a critical condition after falling into a frozen lake in central England on Sunday has lost his battle to keep alive, police said on Wednesday.
Three other boys, aged 11, 10 and 8, had been pulled up on Sunday afternoon from the icy waters of Bubs Mill Lake in Solihull, near Birmingham, and died shortly afterwards.
Britain was hit by a cold snap and snowfall that blanketed much of the country on Sunday night and Monday. The temperature on Sunday night was the lowest recorded this year.
"It is with great sadness that we announce that this afternoon the 6-year-old boy who was in hospital has lost his battle" with death, West Midlands police said on Twitter.
Officers were continuing to search the lake after there were unconfirmed reports that other children may have fallen in when the ice broke. But today they announced that this investigation has now been completed.
