Drayton Manor death: Jurors find Evha Jannath died accidentally

A girl who drowned when she fell from a theme park ride while on a school trip died accidentally, an inquest jury has concluded.The 11-year-old from Leicester, who could not swim, fell from a boat when it hit a barrier.Evha was pronounced dead in hospital later the same day.The inquest had previously heard Evha had been standing up and"reaching into the water", breaching the park's rules, before she was"propelled" from the boat.

CCTV footage played to jurors, showed her wading back towards her friends before climbing an"algae-covered travelator" and then falling off into a"much deeper" section of water.The inquest had heard Evha fell during her second turn on the ride - on her first she had been accompanied by teachers. Jurors were told the emergency stop button for the rapids ride was not pressed for 10 minutes after staff were informed a child was in the water.

No one is to blame. It was a terrible tragedy but unfortunately the little girl was standing up on the ride and this then led to her death 🥺
