Drowning deaths

[village_person]

A number of people lost their lives over the Christmas period here in Oz. It's interesting to note the names of some of them: Sujan Adhikari age 29, Sujan Sharman age 27, Mohamed Amine Hamza age 25, Peter Abd-El-Kaddous, Adnan Khan-Afridi age 27, and Weibin Duan age 56. **

I wonder if people who were seduced by a large body of water for the first time in their lives drowned because they had little or no knowledge of the dangers posed by rips in the surf or attempting to swim in brown water.

I have also noticed a lot of drownings or rescues in the last few years appear to be new Australians.

interesting in relation to the TV adds about the over 50 and water that out of 14 drownings only one was over 50 ?
