14-year-old dies after lake jump in central Catalonia

Catalan firefighters have recovered the body of a 14-year-old who had jumped into a small lake in the central municipality of Sant Fruitós de Bages, known as 'El Gorg dels Tres Salts.'

Emergency services received the warning at 11:20 am after the teenager's friends called when he did not come out of the water. The group of students had no lessons on Friday and decided to go out for a swim.

Nine different firefighter units were deployed with 20 firefighters, including subaquatic units and a helicopter.

The lake has a depth of five meters.

The body was found at 12:30 pm but it was not possible to resuscitate the boy. Emergency services have offered psychologists to help the family, friends, and the rescue team who assisted in the search.
