Pool death of seven-year-old was 'accidental'

The jury at the inquest into the death of a 7-year-old girl, pulled from the bottom of a pool near Beccles in Suffolk, has returned a conclusion of accidental death.

Maya Kantengule died after a party at the Waveney River Centre in May last year. The coroner said she was concerned that since the tragedy, the holiday park had still not given formal health and safety training to some staff.

We are still devastated following the passing of our beloved daughter, Maya Grace Kantengule. The pain is still unbearable and even though it’s been over year it feels like we relive her passing every day.

We hope that this inquest will provide answers to what happened on the day, even, though it is hard to admit that no explanation will bring back our daughter.

We miss her dearly and she has left a void that is difficult to fill
