He became the eight victim of death by drowning in the region. The Civil Protection System (Sinaproc) was activated, together with units of the National Aeronaval Service (Senan). The body was found about 5 kilometers downstream from where the event occurred. Three deaths have been reported this month of people who have been dragged by the currents of rivers in the Las Palmas district. Alfredo Alfonso, regional director of Sinaproc, Veraguas, regretted the continuing deaths due to drowning in the province, because despite the warnings people risk their lives crossing rivers and streams. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/8th-veraguas-drowning-victim-despite-alerts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
