Drowning Probed
There has been a tragic drowning in England as a seven-year-old girl has died after being found unconscious in a swimming pool.
The girl, from the Isle of Dogs area of London, died on Saturday following an incident at a leisure centre in Maldon, Essex.
Paramedics were called at about 2pm, but were unable to revive the girl. She was pronounced dead in hospital about an hour later. Police said last night her death was not suspicious.
An Essex Police spokeswoman said: "It has been determined that a police investigation is no longer required."
She said information would now be passed to the coroner and Maldon District Council.
Graham Farrant, Chief Executive of Leisure Connection, which runs the centre on behalf of Maldon District Council, said: "All our thoughts and sympathies are with the family.
"We're working closely with the police and the local council. The centre will remain closed while this vital investigation takes place."
