A community has been left devastated once again after two girls from same school tragically died in water-related incidents in less than a year
.
In a message shared to social media this afternoon, the Staybridge school said: "Copley Academy have been made aware of the tragic news that one of our students lost their life last night. We offer our deepest sympathy to all of those involved in this tragedy. During an inquest at Stockport Coroners' Court, Detective Inspector Steven Horton from GMP said that it had been a particularly hot day. To cool off, the group decided to go for a dip in the pond, but things 'very suddenly' took a turn for the worst.
"They were all playing in the water when one of her friends got into difficulty and Lucy had gone to try and assist her," DI Horton previously told the inquest. "As she was trying to help she got into trouble and her friends tried to help her but she had gone under the water and didn't surface." "Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families, friends and local community at this extremely sad time. We would like to offer support and the support of a specialist team. To access this support or if you need anything else please let us know."
