Three lifeguards face trial for Christopher Rogers' 2017 drowning death due to alleged negligence at a pool in Armagh.

In 2017, 20-year-old Christopher Rogers died after suffering a hypoxic blackout and lying at the bottom of a pool for over five minutes at Orchard Leisure Centre in Armagh. Three lifeguards are on trial for breaching their duty to ensure safety, with CCTV showing them chatting instead of responding promptly. The prosecution claims their negligence led to Rogers' death from oxygen starvation, while the defense argues they responded as quickly as possible. The trial continues.
