Liquid Leisure Windsor death: Health and safety probe under way

Flowers were laid outside Liquid Leisure Windsor following the girl's death

An investigation into whether health and safety regulations were breached has begun at a water park where an 11-year-old girl died.

Emergency services were called to Liquid Leisure Windsor, near Datchet in Berkshire, on Saturday after the child was reported missing.

She was found just after 17:10 BST and taken to hospital, where she died.

Thames Valley Police confirmed her death was being treated as non-suspicious.

Liquid Leisure has said it will remain shut for the rest of the week "out of respect" to her family.

Staff had initially said the aqua assault course would reopen on Tuesday but those plans have now been changed.

A Liquid Leisure statement said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and all those effected by this desperately tragic and upsetting incident."

It previously said it would not comment further while police investigations were taking place.

Det Insp Stuart May said: "We have conducted a thorough investigation and have not identified any suspicious circumstances so a file will be prepared for the coroner.

"We have been liaising with the [Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead] council's officers who will now take over responsibility for the investigation to determine any potential breaches under relevant health and safety legislation.

Flowers and messages have been left outside the attraction's closed gates as tributes poured in following the girl's death.

One read: "To a beautiful little girl. I hope you know how hard everyone tried to save you.

"You were just too beautiful for this world. You will always be the brightest star in the night sky."

People were seen leaving flowers outside Liquid Leisure on Sunday afternoon

A mother-of-two, who did not want to be named, was at the water park when the girl went missing.

She said lifeguards and friends of the girl's family ran along the lake shouting her name at about 15:45.

"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," the woman said.

"They were asking all of us to shout her name, describing her as shoulder height on an adult, with shoulder-length brown hair."

The water park has been shut since the incident on Saturday

She said between 30 and 40 people - lifeguards and other swimmers - jumped into the water to look for the girl before emergency services arrived.

"As the situation unfolded, with every minute that passed by you could see the rising panic amongst the onlookers," the woman added.
