Authorities have reported the tragic discovery of a 10-year-old boy’s body floating in the Navua River this morning. This young student had been missing since December 28, when he was swept away by a strong current while swimming with friends at the Raiwaqa River in Navua.
The police are currently present at the scene and are conducting an investigation to understand the circumstances leading to this heartbreaking incident.
This news underscores the importance of water safety, particularly among children, and serves as a reminder for parents and guardians to ensure that safety measures are in place when young ones are near water bodies.
Despite the sadness surrounding this loss, it also opens a dialogue about community resources and preventative measures that can help keep children safe in the water. As investigations continue, we hope that lessons can be learned to prevent future tragedies.
