‘As I approached Adam, I observed him unconscious, next to the pool, lying on the ground face up… I observed blood on Adam’s body.
“An unknown man was holding his head and another was doing chest compressions. I asked the man to step back and I began to check for a pulse.
“I noticed that Adam had a laceration on the back of his head, where the blood was coming from.”
The video, which was filmed and then shared on social media, is part of the police investigation into the tragedy.
