On June 15, the family was resting on the bank of the Onon River, near the village of Nizhny Tsasuchey. At about five o’clock in the evening, a girl of 15 years old while swimming fell into a whirlpool. Adults rushed to help her. Three fishermen joined them.

The girl was dragged out, but four her saviors drowned - a 45-year-old woman and men 41, 58 and 60 years old.

The two dead men were the relatives of a rescued teenager.

The bodies of the dead men were raised from the water immediately. EMERCOM rescuers found the woman’s body the next day.

Now the girl is in the district hospital. Her health is not in danger.
