An 11-year-old girl who drowned during a birthday party at a waterpark was unlawfully killed, a coroner found today.
Kyra Hill, described as a 'beacon of light' by her family, got into difficulty in a designated swimming area at Liquid Leisure near Windsor, Berkshire, on August 6 2022.
Senior coroner Heidi Connor concluded that Kyra had been unlawfully killed following gross health and safety breaches at the park.
The breaches relate to the depth and visibility of the water and the absence of an emergency plan and risk assessment, she found.
There were no signs warning of deep water despite it reaching 4.67 metres in parts of the designated swimming area, Ms Conner said.
