Unfortunate Accident with Misleading Story Title

The title of this news report is "Heartbroken parents of drowned toddler question Disneyland Paris".

If all you read is the title, you'd think that the toddler drowned at Disneyland Paris. It is when you read the news article do you realize that the unfortunate accident happened at a hotel NEAR Disneyland Paris!

The staff at the Thomas Cook-owned three-star Explorers Hotel close to the Disney resort confirmed there had been no lifeguard on duty when Colum fell into the water after disappearing from his mother's view shortly after the family arrived at the venue last Thursday.


What editor let something like this through?
