|A father has tragically died eight days after getting stuck in an indoor cave at a Lake District tourist attraction. Carl O'Keeffe (pictured left), 49, was playing with children at a birthday party inside the Kong Adventure Centre in Keswick, Cumbria on April 22 when he slipped and got stuck inside a narrow tunnel. The experienced climber from Lancaster, hailed as a 'devoted dad,' suffered crush injuries after he got stuck inside the cave for four hours.
