Water Safety

A man who was left with two broken legs after forcing his way into Aldershot Lido after dark took his own life, an inquest heard.

The parents of Robert Hattersley, who died in the River Tyne in July, want to launch a charity in his name to prevent further deaths.

The Coastguard was alerted at around 3.30pm that they had got into difficulty and rescue teams were called out.
