A British girl has died while on a family holiday in Florida.

Anna Beaumont, 13, was found in a pool at Discovery Cove in Orlando, US, and was taken to hospital on Tuesday (28 May).

She passed away in hospital the following day.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said: “We are sorry to report that on May 29 2024, 13-year-old Anna Beaumont was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

Discovery Cove is an 'all-inclusive day resort' and is part of SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica Orlando.

"Voted #1 Best Theme Park in Orlando by USA Today, Discovery Cove is an all-inclusive day resort where guests can enjoy a one-of-a-kind opportunity to swim with dolphins, snorkel among thousands of tropical fish and rays, hand-feed hundreds of exotic birds, encounter playful otters and more," its website reads.

Andrew Williams, headteacher at Ms Beaumont’s school, Radyr Comprehensive, told the BBC: “The very thought of losing a child is an unimaginable journey and I know I speak on behalf of the whole school community when I say that our thoughts are with Anna’s family as they try to come to terms with their loss.

“Anna was a cherished member of our school family, and her absence will be profoundly felt by pupils, staff and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

“Her spirit, kindness and presence touched so many lives.”

A Foreign Office spokesperson added: “We are in touch with the family following the death of a child in the United States, and are providing consular support during this difficult time.”

“Our team provided care and contacted Orange County Fire & Rescue.

“When emergency personnel arrived, they took over care and transported the guest to a nearby hospital.

Commenting on the incident on X, one user said: "Really sad to read this.

"My heart goes out to her family, who I hope will have all the support they could ever ask for in the coming weeks and months and years."
