Overview

  • The coroner found water in Bloore’s lungs and stomach, officially ruling his death a drowning.
  • Toxicology tests are due to determine whether any substances contributed to his collapse and submersion for about ten minutes.
  • Paramedics performed an hour of CPR and briefly restarted his heart, but brain oxygen deprivation led to organ failure.
  • His parents, who were holidaying in Devon, flew home but were delayed by traffic and roadworks, arriving ten minutes after he died.
  • A GoFundMe campaign organised by his sister has raised £2,005 toward a £2,600 funeral goal after the family received only £1,000 from the Department for Work and Pensions.
