The authorities are investigating the suspected drowning of a teen who died in Manchester on Monday at Hector’s River.
The deceased teen has been identified as Allando Segree. Segree was a resident of Craighead, Manchester, and attended the Troy High School in Trelawny.
According to reports, Segree and four other teenagers went to Hector’s River to swim at approximately 1 p.m. The police shared that while the teens were swimming, two of them encountered difficulties in the water.
One of the teens was rescued from the river by another teenager.
However, Segree was seemingly not pulled out in time and drowned.
Reports state that his body was removed from Hector’s River by residents in the community. Segree’s death is being investigated by the Christiana police.
The authorities in Manchester are also probing the death of a 76-year-old man, who, like Segree, is suspected to have drowned. The deceased man has been identified as Edwin Ellis.
