A teenage boy has died after getting into difficulty in a river as passers-by frantically tried to save him.
Police were called to the section of the River Wyre, in Lancashire, near Garstang Cricket Club at 2.33pm on Saturday where they found members of the public trying to resuscitate him.
He was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition but sadly passed away yesterday.
Officers are now appealing for anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
A local eyewitness Nick Hill told the BBC: 'The area was quickly cordoned off and I saw a police officer interviewing a tearful young girl among a group of backpackers.
