A teenage boy has sadly died over the weekend following an incident in the canal at Staveley.
East Midlands Ambulance Service alerted police to reports of a 14-year-old who had got into difficulty in the canal near to Mill Green just before 4.50pm on Wednesday 18 August.
Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service attended and helped him out of the water, and he was taken to hospital by paramedics in a serious condition.
On Saturday 21 August the boy, who has been named as Logan Folger, sadly died in hospital.
Our thoughts are with Logan’s family and friends at this time.
