THE two minors who drowned and died at the fishpond in South Pacific Golf and Residential Estates, Barangay Catalunan Pequeño, Davao City are already in their respective houses for their respective wakes.
It is with great and sudden heartbreak that the family received the news of the death of their loved ones on March 24, 2021, Wednesday, around 2:50 p.m.
Based on the investigation of Baliok Police Station, three minors went through the fence to bathe in the fishpond.
One of them swam toward the deeper portion of the pond, which was around 15-foot deep. They noticed how he was flailing his hands asking for help.
One of them swam toward him to save him but unfortunately, he also drowned.
The remaining boy ran and asked for help. That was when the rescuers came to rescue the two other boys, but they were declared dead on arrival.
The owner said they have warned against bathing in the fishpond because of its depth. The boys also went through the fence in secret and the security guard on duty was not able to notice them entering the area.
