Instead of exiting the pool, the trio disappeared over the next tier of the river complex and died when they went over a 50 foot high waterfall.
Three young British tourists who plunged to their deaths in a Vietnam waterfall were not properly warned of the dangers ahead after they went down a water-sliding attraction, a coroner has ruled.
Coroner Chris Dorries heard how Miss Squire and Miss Anderson, both from Sheffield, and Mr Sloan, from Deal, Kent, wore life jackets and helmets as they slid head first down a natural water slide Giving a narrative conclusion, he said: ‘They had chosen the tour with care and with a conservative view as to risk.’
Mr Dorries said that, contrary to reports at the time, the three travellers had done nothing to compromise their own safety. Speaking outside the Medico-Legal Centre in Sheffield, Mr Squire said: ‘It’s now been confirmed what we, as families, have known all along. ‘Christian, Beth and Izzy were completely innocent and lost their lives through no fault of their own.
