An 11-year-old girl who went missing at water sports and entertainment park has died.
Saturday at 15:55 BST, police were summoned to the lake at Liquid Leisure Windsor in Datchet, Berkshire, when a kid got into danger.

The public members who entered the water to search for her have been commended for their courage.
According to the Thames Valley Police, her death is being considered unexplained and an inquiry has been initiated.
Superintendent Michael Greenwood stated, “This episode has been tremendously painful and distressing for all parties concerned.”
Several members of the public entered the lake shortly after she had trouble “but were unable to locate her,” he said.
He continued, “I would want to praise them for their bravery and courage.”
At the scene, police officers were joined by the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, and South Central Ambulance Service.
