18 July 2020, Saturday

At 17.12, on July 18, the 112 system reported that a man had drowned near the village of Nizhnyaya Sosna in the Baltasy district.

At 19.20, by trawling, rescuers 20 m from the shore at a depth of 6 m pull out the body of a deceased man born in 1985, handed over to law enforcement officers.

When clarifying the information, it was found that the company rested on the shore of this GTS, drank. The deceased decided to swim from one bank to the other.

The applicant-the victim's sister-reported that after swimming 4-5 m from the shore, the man disappeared under the water, did not scream or ask for help.

This place is not a recreation area and is not equipped for swimming.

Full houses on the ban of bathing are established.

Contrary to popular belief, drowning people do not scream or wave their hands, and therefore people on the shore may not understand that someone needs help.

The person talks and breathes through the throat. And during drowning, the body directs all its forces to breathing. The only thing that a drowning person will do is just breathe and gasp for air, and at the same time he can't breathe and scream.
