Pictured: boy, 14, who died in River Thames through Oxford

Baltazar L’Quy became the 11th person to die in a water-related tragedy in the UK during the heatwave.

The 14-year-old “got into difficulty” in the water on Wednesday evening, May 27, before he tragically died.

Tributes have been pouring in for Baltazar, including from the Oxford Timorese Community Association.

A member of the Oxford Timorese Community Association group told the BBC: “This has been a very painful moment, not only for the family, but also for the Timorese community, in Oxford and across the United Kingdom.

“This tragedy is very sad and is shocking to most parents – not only within the East Timor community.”

The member added: “The mum was actually saying that this is happening to them, and it’s shocking and it’s very sudden.

“But she would like to remind all the other parents, to remind the children when they’re out there – don’t just go into any water and to always make sure that they go with an adult.”

St Mary the Virgin Church, in Mill Lane, Iffley, is open today for private prayer and the vicar will be around between 5-6pm so candles can be lit.

A spokesman for the church said: “We are devastated to hear of the tragic death of a young person in the river in our parish and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.”
