Elementary School Brothers Die in Pool Accident... "Electric Current Detected in Water"

Elementary school brothers have died at a water park facility in Gokseong, South Jeolla Province. Investigations revealed that they lost consciousness due to electric shock before drowning.

The incident occurred on the 21st at a water play facility in Gokseong, South Jeolla Province, where brothers aged 10 and 9 drowned.

According to the Gokseong Police Station, police received a preliminary verbal report from the National Forensic Service yesterday (June 23), stating that the primary cause of death for the brothers was drowning.

While the direct cause of death was drowning, the National Forensic Service determined that the brothers had lost consciousness due to an electric shock before falling into the water.

The findings suggest that the brothers became paralyzed by the electric shock, lost consciousness, and subsequently drowned in the shallow water.

A joint inspection conducted at the scene of the accident also confirmed that an electric current was flowing through the water play facility.

The police believe it is highly likely that the current leaked into the water as parts of the wiring for the lighting facilities came into contact with or were submerged in the water.
