Joanna Gosling was the one to break the tragic news
Presenter Joanna Gosling became choked up during an edition of BBC News as she broke the news of the tragic deaths of three boys after they were pulled from an icy lake. It was confirmed on Monday morning the three boys who have lost their lives are aged eight, 10 and 11.
Members of the public and police officers initially rushed into the chilly waters to try to get the youngsters out, before the children were reached by specialist water rescue-trained firefighters who got the group to safety. Those pulled from the water were given immediate life support by ambulance and fire service personnel before being rushed to two Birmingham hospitals; Birmingham Children’s and Heartlands, where they all arrived in critical condition.
Gosling was the one to break the awful news on the BBC, saying: "I have some really sad news to bring you, we are hearing three boys - aged 10, 11 and eight - have died..." She briefly paused before continuing: "after being pulled from an icy lake in Solihull. So we known the four people had been rescued..."
During a press conference this afternoon, police said they have had no contact from anyone suggesting there are others missing after an incident at a lake at Babbs Mill Park in Solihull but will keep searching on Monday to make “100% certain”. Superintendent Richard Harris, of West Midlands Police, told reporters: "We have to be 100% certain that there is no one else possibly in the water at this time.
