A 15-year-old girl from Feltham has died after being rescued from a lake, it was reported today.

The teenager was pulled from a lake at the Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire by a member of the public after getting into difficulties, BBC London reported.

Watermark, which manages the park and beach, told the BBC she had been in a 3ft deep section of the bathing area when she had slipped under the water.

The girl was given CPR by a lifeguard and taken to hospital but died.

In a statement, Watermark said four lifeguards, two off-duty lifeguards and two managers had been on site to deal with the incident, on Sunday.

"Three uniformed lifeguards quickly resumed their posts, ensuring the safety of other visitors," it said.

"They decided against a mass evacuation of the bathing area, which would have caused confusion and panic and hampered the arrival of the emergency services.

"Two off-duty lifeguards, who were spending their day off at the beach, also assisted.

"Although there is no helipad at the beach, there was sufficient space for the air ambulance to land.

"We believe the pilot may have taken the decision to land well away from where members of the public might be, in accordance with protocol."
