A firefighter has died during a training exercise at an Olympics watersports
venue.

38 year old Alan Soard, from Lowestoft in Suffolk, was taken ill in the water
at the Lee Valley White Water Centre in Waltham Cross, in Hertfordshire,
yesterday morning.

Three ambulances and two air ambulances were called at but attempts to
resuscitate Mr Soard failed.

He'd been on a water rescue training course.
