In February 1985, a 14-year-old lad called Mark Dowsett from Grantham drowned in Bagshawe Cavern whilst on a school outing. This incident has an entry in the list of caving fatalities published in Descent 198 (2007), and I have found one newspaper reference (Newcastle Journal, 18 February 1985), unfortunately without the name of the casualty.
Does anybody, especially those with a Peak inclination, have a better reference for this incident? It didn't get reported in Descent or Caves and Caving.
Thanks.
