Two British doctors drown as they try to rescue their children from the water at holiday beach

Two British doctors who drowned in the sea off Tenerife were trying to rescue their children after they were swept away by a wave.
Dr Barathi Ravikumar, 39, a GP from Bracebridge Heath in Lincoln, and 42-year-old Uma Ramalingam, a consultant obstetrician from Altrincham in Cheshire, were pronounced dead at the scene after getting into difficulty at the Playa Paraiso resort in the south west of the island.
A third woman, 38, survived along with two children, aged 10 and 14, after being pulled out of the water by a group thought to include tourists, hotel workers and local fishermen.
Dr Ramalingam was a consultant obstetrician who worked across several hospitals in the Pennine Acute Hospital Trust catchment area - including Royal Oldham Hospital, Fairfield General Hospital in Bury and North Manchester General Hospital.
She registered as a doctor in the UK in February 2003 after graduating from Tamil Nadu Medical University in Chennai, India, in 1994.
