Overview

  • Kyra Hill, 11, drowned in August 2022 at Liquid Leisure water park, with emergency services called 37 minutes after she was last seen struggling in the water.
  • The ongoing inquest revealed that the lake had near-zero visibility and sharp, unmarked depth drops up to 4.5 meters in the designated swimming area.
  • Liquid Leisure lacked a missing swimmer policy, trained divers, and immediate CCTV review, significantly delaying rescue efforts.
  • Conflicting information among staff and guests led searches away from the critical area where Kyra was last seen.
  • The park remains under scrutiny, with the designated swimming area permanently closed and new safety measures under consideration.
