Woman And Young Girl Die In Boat Tragedy
Police found the pair suffering serious breathing difficulties on the vessel along with a man who is being treated in hospital.
The three were found on a boat on Lake Windermere
A 36-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl have died and a man is being treated in hospital after they suffered serious breathing difficulties on a boat.
The alarm was raised at around 4pm when Cumbria Police and an ambulance were called to a private vessel at a jetty on Lake Windermere in the Lake District.
The woman and young girl, both from the Leyland area of Lancashire, were treated at the scene and then airlifted to Royal Lancaster Infirmary, where both later died.
The man, who was also on the boat near Bowness, was taken to the same hospital where he is still receiving treatment, Cumbria Police said.
Officers said they were unable to confirm reports that the deaths were the result of carbon monoxide poisoning.
A Cumbria Police spokeswoman said: "(We) can confirm that at approximately 4pm today, they attended an incident at Lake Windermere, where it was reported that three people on a private boat on Lake Windermere were having serious breathing difficulties.
"Police attended along with an ambulance crew.
"A 36-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl, both from the Leyland area, were treated at the scene and then airlifted to Royal Lancaster Infirmary. Unfortunately both have since tragically died.
"A man, who was also on the boat, is still receiving treatment at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary."
The spokeswoman continued: "Police are currently investigating the circumstances of this tragic incident and trying to establish the full facts about what has happened. The coroner has been informed."
