A man in his sixties, who bathed in a swimming pool in Switzerland, died after being hit by a child who had just launched a diving.
The shock was fatal. Hit in the head, a man in his sixties died in a swimming pool in Switzerland in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The drama occurred Tuesday in this outdoor swimming pool, equipped with a slide and several divers. A young boy jumped from a 5 -meter dive and struck a 67 -year -old man arriving in the water. Seriously injured, the man died on the spot shortly after.
After the shock, the sixty -something man drowned, says the Swiss media Blick. He would have opened his mouth by reflex at the time of the collision. A supervisor plunged to help him. And despite the long minutes of cardiac massage, the man died.
The swimming pool was immediately evacuated and the swimming pool remained closed for the rest of the day. She reopened her pools on Wednesday.
The child wanted by the police
Two days after the drama, cantonal police have not yet managed to identify the young boy. He would have left the pool after the shock. The child was about ten years old, with a dark blue swimsuit, brown hair and he was perhaps accompanied by a woman, according to testimonies that reports Blick.
Bathers have deposited flowers at the swimming pool, in tribute to the victim, since the reopening.
