Redditch man drowns at Nuneaton beauty spot
A man has drowned after getting into difficulty while swimming at a Warwickshire beauty spot.
Wojciech Berlan, from Redditch in Worcestershire, was swimming in Ensor’s Pool in Nuneaton on Sunday afternoon, Warwickshire Police said.
Emergency crews were called at about 12:30 BST to reports that the the 27-year-old man had disappeared in the water and not resurfaced for five minutes.
He was pulled from the water but confirmed dead at the scene at about 13:30, police said.
The force is continuing to investigate on behalf of the coroner.
Mr Berlan’s next of kin have been informed, a police spokesperson added, and anyone who was there at the time is asked to contact police.
The pool, in the south-west area of the town, is a former clay pit that served a nearby colliery and brick works and is now a site of special scientific interest.
