A man's body has been pulled from the same quarry pool where a teenager died last weekend.
The latest victim, believed to be aged in his 20s, had reportedly got into difficulty after entering the water near Malvern in Worcestershire.
The ambulance service was called to Gullet Quarry just after 4pm on Friday and the fire and rescue service also sent two boat crews.
His body was recovered shortly before 7pm and he was confirmed dead at the scene.
The tragedy was in the same waters where 17-year-old Russell O'Neill, from Worcester, died last Saturday.
He had been swimming at the quarry when he failed to resurface and his body was recovered by a dive team.
It is the third open-water related death in the West Midlands after a man's body was recovered on Friday from the River Severn in Bridgnorth.
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service Group Commander George Marshall warned against people using open waters as a place to cool down on hot days.
He said: "The water may look enticing but even on a hot day it can be extremely cold, leading to sudden cramp, and subject to strong currents which can catch out even the strongest of swimmers.
"There could also be obstacles and other debris hidden under the water which could trap or injure someone.
"Many pools and quarry lakes are also very deep and certainly not safe to swim in.
"Please think twice about going into open water and if you must take a dip please do it in the safety of a public swimming pool where there are lifeguards on duty."
