In April 2018, tragedy struck when Rocco Wright was discovered lifeless in the pool at the David Lloyd recreation center in Moortown, Leeds. The young boy, a resident of Scarcroft, had drowned and suffered an irreversible brain injury. The Wakefield Coroner’s Court jury inquest revealed that Rocco may have been underwater for up to five minutes before being found.
During the inquest, Rocco’s father, Steven Wright, expressed concerns about the levels of health and safety at the pool on the day of the incident. The only lifeguard on duty at the time was a 17-year-old named William Jayne. This heartbreaking event highlights the importance of proper supervision and safety measures in recreational facilities.

Rocco Wright Parents: Father Steven Wright And Mother
Rocco Wright parents are Father Steven Wright and mother whose name is not revealed yet. The father of a three-year-old who drowned in a recreation center pool testified during an inquest that his son’s death “could and should have been prevented.”
Mr. Wright claimed that on April 21, 2018, he was at the poolside with Rocco and his daughter and planned to take his son swimming while his daughter had her normal lesson. When he realized Rocco was no longer by his side, he claimed to have just learned that the lesson had been canceled.
Mr. Wright was filled with overwhelming panic as he frantically searched for his son, Rocco. Despite Rocco’s innate fear of water, Mr. Wright couldn’t help but wonder if his son had somehow ended up in the pool. Clutching Rocco’s life jacket tightly, he finally decided to check the pool at the David Lloyd Leisure Center in Leeds.
