## Resource

A tragic fishing trip on the Scioto River in Ohio turned deadly when five adults drowned after attempting a rescue. The incident began when one person struggled in the water, prompting others to jump in — a chain reaction that ended in catastrophe. Two women were found dead at hospitals that night; the other three were recovered the next day. The group, possibly two sets of parents, had been enjoying a summer evening with children under ten, now placed in county care due to a language barrier complicating witness interviews. Authorities, led by the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, used drones and helicopters in the massive search. Sheriff Jeff Balzer is urging caution near water, especially this summer — life vests are critical for anyone unsure of their swimming ability. A sobering reminder: fun outings can vanish in seconds.
