Tragic Thames Drowning of Kaliyah Coa | London News
Description
Eleven-year-old Kaliyah Coa tragically drowned in the River Thames after attempting to retrieve a friend’s shoe — a heartbreaking accident that unfolded during a sleepover sleepover near Barge House Causeway. Witnesses described a sunny day with kids playing, and though one child reportedly said “You made me throw it,” there was no sign of hostility. Kaliyah, healthy and kind-hearted, used a scooter to reach the shoe — despite a warning — before slipping into the water. The coroner ruled her death accidental, caused by immersion, and offered heartfelt condolences to her grieving family, acknowledging the painful reality of letting children grow more independent.
