Pigeon's Cove ( Google )

A 13-year-old boy has died after he was pulled out of the sea off the coast of North Wales.

The teenager was grabbed from the water by coastguards after getting into trouble at Pigeon's Cove in Llandudno on Saturday night.

He was airlifted to hospital in Bangor but later died.

A spokeswoman for HM Coastguard said a member of the public had called 999 at about 8.55pm to report a person in difficulties.

She said lifeboats, helicopters and ambulance had all been sent to the scene. “The person was recovered from the water and was airlifted to Bangor hospital,” she added.

Police said there were not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.
