REVEALED: Determined and caring man drowned as friend swam 3 miles for help - The Real Truth

The sisters of a "spiritual, kind and caring" young man who was a member of the Great British Sailing Team have warned of the dangers of swimming in open water.

Haydn Griffiths, 23, from Lowton, was reported missing after going swimming in the River Mersey on July 19 2022 - one of the hottest days of the year. His body was found by an RNLI crew in the water near Crosby five days later.

His sister Megan, 30, said: "Haydn was determined. Anything he put his mind to, he would do it, whether it's learning to play the guitar or learning a really difficult song. He used to do box jumps in the gym and he'd stack up all the boxes as high as possible, and keep jumping until he could do it.
