Three children and two adults who tried to rescue them have been electrocuted in a water park in north-western Turkey, local media say.
The incident happened in the town of Akyazi, in Sakarya province, 100km (62 miles) east of Istanbul.
The park manager and his son dived in to help the three children. The five, believed to be all Turkish, were taken to hospital but could not be saved.
It was unclear how the pool had become electrified.
Rescuers and park personnel flushed the pool's water away as others turned off electricity in the facility.

Well, it could happen. My heart goes out.
Terrible loss. Prayers for the families an all involved.
“The park manager and his son dived in to help the three children.”
I’m not impressed with their management, but I admire their courage. That’s the kind of ownership everyone should take of their work and property.
