'Please ensure that children are supervised at all times'
Greater Manchester Police have issued a warning on the dangers of cold water after three children fell through an icy lake and tragically died.
Emergency services were first called to the scene at 2.36pm on Sunday where it was reported four children had been playing on the ice and fallen through. A huge rescue operation was launched and the four children were pulled out in a state of cardiac arrest. The operation is ongoing at the scene, though West Midlands Police said this afternoon that nobody else had been reported missing. Following on from the tragic incident, GMP have issued a warning and advice for parents on keeping their children safe around open cold water.
A post on the GMP Rochdale Facebook page said: "Following some really tragic news , GMP Rochdale would like to stress the importance of safety around cold water. Please ensure that children are supervised at all times when in the vicinity of cold water and advise children about the dangers of cold water and the impact it can have."
