Sri Lankan tourist drowns in Switzerland
A 22-year-old Sri Lankan drowned in a pond on Tuesday in the northeastern Swiss city of St Gallen, Swiffinfo reported.
The police were alerted at around 7:30 pm on Tuesday evening that a man who entered the Drei Weieren (Three Ponds, in German) did not resurface.
Several dozen swimmers in the water immediately began a search for the tourist. An off-duty lifeguard who happened to be present also took part and coordinated the operation until the arrival of the emergency rescue team. A short while afterwards, the first divers of the St Gallen city police arrived.
Unfortunately, the man could only be recovered lifeless after about 30 minutes. He was found about six meters from the shore at a depth of 3-4 meters. According to preliminary findings, he did not know how to swim and had entered the pond alone, the report claimed.
