INQUEST: A teenager from Mold who drowned in the lake of a luxury hotel after being thrown out of a Christmas party died as a result of an accident, an inquest jury has ruled.
Haydn Mark Evans, 18, was involved in a dance floor scuffle at the De Vere Carden Park Hotel, near Chester, and escorted outside by security staff, Warrington Coroner’s Court heard.
The construction firm labourer went missing in the grounds of the four star hotel on December 16 last year.
He was wearing only a shirt and trousers in conditions described as “freezing and icy”.
Police divers recovered his body from the lake of the 196-room hotel two weeks later.
The jury returned a unanimous verdict today after about an hour of deliberations and almost two days of evidence.
Reading their verdict to the court, Cheshire coroner Nicholas Rheinberg said: “At some time in the early hours of December 17 he was drowned in the lake at Carden Park. He died as a result of an accident.” -

A Dyfed Powys Police spokesman denied the search for the five-year-old - who went missing from outside her home in Machynlleth on October 1 - was being scaled down.
The spokesman said: “The search is not being scaled down. Last week 16 teams went out - police officers from all the home nations. And there has been no change this week.
“They are searching on a section to section phase and will be continuing well into January.
He added: “And January will not be the end of the search altogether because they are having to search a very wide area.”
Officers have continued with their search “with the same intensity” as ever in forests and quarries around Machynlleth.‘
