Report into deaths from accidents or natural causes in water

More than 400 people died from accidents or natural causes in water across the UK in 2009, according to the first report from a new incident database. The Water Incident Database (WAID) was developed by the National Water Safety Forum (NWSF) to enable greater detail and volume in the collection of data on fatal and non-fatal drowning, other water-related deaths and injuries, and near misses.
