A hero schoolboy died as he tried to rescue three other youngsters who plunged into a freezing cold lake, his devastated family have said. Jack Johnson bravely rushed to help the children after he heard them screaming from the water.
However, the 10-year-old got into difficulty and tragically drowned alongside two other victims, aged 11 and eight. A third child, aged just six, remains in critical condition in hospital.
It is understood that they are all members of the same family. The eldest has since been named locally as Thomas, the Mirror reports.

Posting to Facebook, she wrote: “The 10-year-old boy is my nephew. He seen one go through the ice and he ran an tried to save them.
“Our prayers and thoughts are with the other family. We are just broken over it.
“To find out he died trying to save 3 lads he didn’t even know, that just sums him up. He was amazing.”
Jack’s horrified family members raced at the scene as fire crews desperately tried to rescue the youngsters. Grieving relatives and friends have left dozens of floral tributes beside the lake in Kingshurst, Solihull.

“Thanks for lending me your jacket when I was cold. You were like a brother to me. I miss you so much.”
Friends said Thomas was a student at the Park Hall Academy in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham. Posting to Twitter, the school wrote: “Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved and our local community at this extremely difficult time.
