A boy has been reported dead in the locality of Ngoye, Kribi in the South region of Cameroon, while he and friends were having a pool party.
The lifeless body of the youngster was retrieved from the sea by the guards of the beach, after the victim had made a distress call to his friends who could not rescue him immediately.
“He had drunk so much water before he could be removed from the sea and given first-aid cardiopulmonary massage,” a source told the Guardian Post Newspaper.
He added that the boy was rushed to the emergency room of the Kribi District Hospital, where he was confirmed dead by the doctors.
“Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with our youth. They come into the beach and dive into the water when they don’t know how to swim” another source lamented.
