A 36-year-old woman has died today after rescue teams pulled her out from the Walsall Arboretum lake.
On Wednesday morning at approximately 8.30am, emergency services were called to the popular town centre spot after a woman was reported to be in the water.
A West Midlands Fire Service spokesman said: “Working with West Midlands police and ambulance services, and with the aid of an ambulance service drone, two of our rescue swimmers retrieved her from the water.”
Paramedics and a Hazardous Area Response Team from the West Midlands Ambulance service also arrived to aid the rescue and the woman was treated at the scene.
She was then taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham for further treatment, but was pronounced dead shortly after and her family were informed.
The death is said not be suspicious.
A Walsall Police spokesperson said: “Thank you to those who tried to save her. Remember that the Samaritans are there if you need someone to listen to you.”
