\"\"THE FAMILY and friends of a Birmingham teenager who drowned in a lake whilst trying to retrieve a ball have handed over a 5,000 name petition to city council bosses urging a public inquiry into his death.<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

19-year-old Mohammed Nasar drowned last month at the Brookvale Park, Erdington, Birmingham after trying to save a friend who got into difficulty in the lake.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

His body was finally retrieved from the lake 16 hours later, prompting criticism from his family. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

They have launched the Mohammed Nasar Memorial Campaign in memory of Mohammed who was training to be a plumber. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Protesting outside the Birmingham City Council, family and friends demanded a public inquiry into his death. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Campaign organiser Mohammed Masoom, told the Birmingham Mail: “We want answers as to why Mohammed died at a public park where eight people have died previously.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“We want to know why there were no visible signs showing the dangers of this killer lake. There are so many questions surrounding this death we believe there should be a public inquiry.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“The fact that it took 16 hours for a proper underwater rescue team to come and retrieve the body whilst Mohammed’s family helplessly waited is another question we want answered.”<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A number of councillors and Yardley MP John Hemming also attended the protest. <\/div>\n
