A man, woman and child have died in Loch Lomond, bringing to six the number of people who have been killed after getting into difficulty in the water in Scotland in 24 hours. Edina Olahova, 29, and her son Raza Haris Ali, nine, died along with a family friend, Mohammad Asim Raza, 41, on Saturday evening. Police Scotland said they were called to a report of concerns for people in the water near Pulpit Rock, Loch Lomond, south of Ardlui, on Saturday evening. A seven-year-old boy, believed to be Raza’s son, was also rushed by ambulance to the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, where he is currently in intensive care. A Police Scotland statement said it received the call at about 6.40pm on Saturday. It added: “A multi-agency operation took place and sadly three people were pronounced dead at the scene.” A report into the incident will be sent to the procurator fiscal. It brings the number of people who have died in Scotland after getting into difficulty in the water to six in just 24 hours. An 11-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene after being found in the river at Alexander Hamilton Memorial Park in Stonehouse, South Lanarkshire, on Saturday afternoon. A 16-year-old boy died in the water at Balloch Country Park, southern Loch Lomond, on Friday. Police Scotland have also confirmed a 13-year-old boy drowned in Hazelbank, Lanark, at about 6pm on Saturday. Mark Williams, assistant chief constable of Police Scotland, said the number of deaths that had taken place in open waters over Friday and Saturday was “hard to comprehend”. He stated: “The warm weather can make open water swimming and paddling very inviting but it is extremely dangerous, even for the most experienced swimmers or supervised children. The conditions can change very quickly and there are often hidden risks like deeper water and strong currents. “The message I want to send to everyone is exercise extreme caution. It is better to keep a safe distance from water if possible. Tragically, this weekend has highlighted that open water is very, very dangerous. He urged people: “If you see someone in the water and distressed, call 999 immediately. “Remember, you could get into difficulty yourself trying to help so please take care and seek help as soon as possible.”
