Chennai: A 14-year-old boy died after the boat where he traveled with Mamallapuram on Friday morning.
Victims were identified as Mukesh Kasimedu.
After a sudden surge in the Covid-19 case in the city during the second wave, he shifted to his grandmother’s house at Sulerjuadu near Mamallapuram.
He regularly went fishing with his brothers, staring at his grandmother’s house Hamsarani at 4 in the morning.
On Friday, he and four others left for the sea.
After spending more than three hours at sea, they returned home when the giant wave hit their boat and it was upside down.
It all goes up to the sea.
While four of them managed to swim to the beach, Mukesh lost.
Even though he knew swimming, he didn’t seem to be able to overcome the giant waves, police said.
Fourth seeking he warned other fishermen who came looking for Mukesh.
They managed to bring it to land in subconscious conditions.
He rushed to a private hospital in a kambakkam where he died without responding to treatment.
Other people who accompanied him believed that he would swim again as a similar incident occurred three weeks ago, when they fled.
Based on information, Mamallapuram police have registered cases of unintentional deaths.
The police sent the body to Post Mortem to the Chengalpet Government Hospital.
“Unlike rivers, swimming in the sea significantly more challenging because swimmers must compete with the waves, changes in tides, beach slopes, and strong currents that might be present even when the surface looks calm,” said the officer’s inquiry
