Misfortune while bathing - Youth rescued from sea in Duisburg died
A 16-year-old died after being rescued from a lake in Duisburg. The teenager disappeared in the Bertasee on Tuesday evening, according to the fire department.

Although rescue divers eventually pulled him out and performed CPR, the 16-year-old died later that evening at the hospital, a police spokesperson said.
Police have now launched an investigation into the death.
The fire department often provides training for firefighting to prepare for such emergencies. Despite the efforts of the rescuers, the tragedy underscores the importance of water safety and firefighting skills.
