A 13-year-old boy from the U.K. drowned after he got stuck underwater by a tree, according to an inquest on Monday, August 18, per the BBC. Teenager Kane Edwards tragically died in the River Tawe in May 2022 while swimming with a friend.

Inquest Heard For 13-Year-Old Who Drowned After Getting Stuck Under Tree In Water

For 45 minutes, emergency services frantically searched for the boy, PC Richard Petherbridge of South Wales Police revealed. Unfortunately, the “murky” and fast-rushing water made it impossible to save him.

Two bystanders noticed Kane and his friend paddling through the river and paid them no mind. Shortly after, witness Matthew Altarno claimed Kane’s friend ran up to him in a panic.

“Have you seen my friend?” said the boy. “He’s gone under the water and not come up.”
