## Summary

Mitchell Ogbourne, a 19-year-old from Swindon, drowned while swimming at Nusa Dua in Bali during a family holiday on 13 October. His parents heard him call for help, brought him back to shore and performed CPR, but he was pronounced dead at hospital.

An inquest in Salisbury heard that the sea appeared calm and shallow when Ogbourne went in, but difficulties arose as he swam further out. A post-mortem found that he died from water submersion. His football club, Stratton Juniors, paid tribute to him; the inquest was adjourned to a later date.
