Man, 24, Drowns in Inches of Water in Freak Paddling Pool Accident - Liverpool Echo

DONCASTER, SOUTH YORKSHIRE, JUN 26 – Roan Bloore drowned after collapsing into a shallow paddling pool, remaining submerged for 10 minutes despite paramedics restarting his heart, leading to fatal organ failure.

  • Roan Bloore, a 24-year-old man from Doncaster, drowned on June 26 after collapsing in nine inches of water while emptying a paddling pool at his home.
  • The accident occurred during a heatwave when Roan was emptying a pool previously used by his nieces and nephews, and he remained face-down for about 10 minutes before being found.
  • Emergency services performed CPR, restarted his heart after about an hour, but severe brain damage from oxygen deprivation led to organ failure, causing his death shortly before hospital arrival.
  • Roan's father Michael referred to the event as a tragic accident and expressed that the experience feels unbearably surreal, emphasizing the importance of vigilant supervision around all bodies of water, even those that are shallow.
  • Roan's sister Abigail started a GoFundMe to help cover the £2,250 funeral cost since the parents receive limited support from benefits, with the page raising over £2,000 towards a £2,600 target.
