'It's more dangerous than they realise' - Village in shock after second river death in seven years at beauty spot

Villagers have described their shock after a second death in a river which has become a magnet for teenagers.
A girl of 15, who hasn't been named, died after 'getting into difficulty' in the River Etherow in the village of Broadbottom near Hyde in Tameside on Wednesday evening.
In July 2016, another teenager, Jack Pullen, 16, from nearby Hattersley, died after getting into trouble in the same stretch of water known as Broadbottom Rocks. His inquest heard he had been walking in seemingly calm water when he slipped and the current dragged him under.

Residents described how the police, paramedics and fire crews focussed their search on a stretch of the river close to Hodge Lane.
Despite the search, GMP confirmed: "A 15-year-old female was retrieved from the water and sadly died despite the best efforts of the medical team."
An investigation is underway but detectives say they are 'confident' there are no suspicious circumstances.

The resident described how, earlier in the day, the village had held its annual duck race in the river. "They drop the ducks
