FIVE men, jumping into rivers and a lake to cool-off, have now lost their lives.
In addition to the death of a 46 years old man who jumped into the Trent at Burton on Monday, four more have drowned jumping into cold water to cool-off.
16 years old
A 16 years old jumped into the Etherow at Hyde near Manchester on Tuesday and drowned. Also on Tuesday, the body of a 21 years old was recovered from Lammas Lake in Wraysbury.
On Wednesday a 29 years old man jumped into the Thames at Wapping and drowned. Also on Wednesday another 16 years old boy took to the Thames to cool-off near Putney Bridge and was carried away by the tide and drowned.
Many authorities tell how jumping into cold water to cool-off is dangerous, and the above rather proves it.
