The day began like any other excursion: the students enjoyed the facilities of the recreational center from the morning. However, the moment of fun turned into tragedy when, during lunchtime, the absence of little Samuel was discovered, so the search began immediately, according to the version of a teacher who accompanied the group.
Unfortunately, the boy was found floating lifeless in the pool. The school staff and his companions acted quickly, pulling the child out of the water and rushing him to a medical centre in Silvania.
Despite the efforts of doctors, Samuel apparently arrived at the medical center without vital signs and they were unable to do anything to save his life, they reported.
