London, Thanasis Gavos

Brothers Finlay and Sam Butler, aged eight and six respectively, their cousin Thomas Stewart, 11, and ten-year-old Jack Johnson are the four boys who died of heart attacks after falling into the frozen park pond in Solihull on Sunday afternoon of central England.

Six-year-old Sam ended up in the intensive care unit of a local hospital on Wednesday, while the other three boys died on Sunday.

The three related children wanted to feed the ducks in the lake, when the ice they stepped on broke and they ended up in the water. Jack Johnson hastened to their aid, unbeknownst to them so far as is known.

The children’s identities were revealed through social media posts by their relatives expressing the families’ grief and thanking the local community for their support.
