A 21-year-old man has died after he got into difficulty in a reservoir in Staffordshire.

Emergency services were called after the man and a teenage girl were seen struggling in the water in Burntwood at about 6pm on Sunday.

The girl made it out of Chasewater reservoir safely, but the man died, despite the efforts of medics, the fire service and the air ambulance, Staffordshire police said.

The force said they are investigating how the pair got into difficulty.

The current spell of fine weather has seen a number of drownings in England. On Thursday and Friday, the bodies of three men were pulled from the sea off the coast of south-west England.

Two of the men were discovered near Torquay, Devon, on Thursday and one was found near Prussia Cove, Cornwall, on Friday.

This followed the death of 12-year-old Shukri Yahya Abdi, who drowned in the river Irwell in Bury, Lancashire, on Thursday.
