A MAN has tragically drowned after “disappearing beneath the water” while swimming at a popular UK beauty spot.
Police have confirmed that Wojciech Berlan, 27, has sadly passed after getting into difficulty at Ensor’s Pool in Nuneaton, Warwickshire earlier today.
Mr Berlan, from Redditch in Worcestershire, was found this afternoon after he failed to resurface from the water for five minutes, according to reports.
Police were soon called to the scene, along with other emergency services just before 12.30pm.
He was pulled from the water but confirmed dead at the scene at about 13:30, police said.
The force are continuing to investigate on behalf of the coroner.
Police have also confirmed that Mr Berlan’s next of kin have been informed.
They have urged anyone at the pool to come to them with any information.
This comes after an 11-year-old girl tragically died at another popular UK beauty spot last night.
The alarm was raised at around 6pm by the River Lynher, near Torpoint at Wacker Quay, in Cornwall.
Police responded to reports of a person who had gotten into difficulty in the water.
The youngster was recovered and given emergency treatment but tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said: “Emergency services were called at around 6pm on Saturday 16 August to Wacker Quay at Antony, near Torpoint, following concerns for a person in the water.
“A child was sadly confirmed deceased at the scene.
“Next of kin have been informed and will be supported by officers.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
The Coastguard and South Western Ambulance Service have been contacted for comment.
