Evidence
- Language
-
Not assessed
- Original evidence
-
The City of Stirling reports the rescue. Separate 7NEWS and ABC interviews add accounts from a bystander, lifeguard, and leisure manager. Lynxight’s policy establishes its corporate address, not the rescue outcome. [1] [2] [3] [4]
- Access and versions
-
The pool operator and subsequent reporting describe the rescue. Clinical records and raw alert timings are unavailable. A bystander had already begun responding, so the alert’s effect on the outcome cannot be isolated. [1] [2] [3] [4]
