In the Navbakhor district of Navoi region, two teenagers born in 2011 died as a result of drowning in a canal. This was reported by the press secretary of the General Prosecutor's Office, Hayot Shamsutdinov.
According to the information, on July 2 of this year at approximately 13:30, minors B.R. and S.A. went with their classmates to bathe in the section of the "Beshrabot–Konimekh" canal flowing along Bunyodkor Street in the "Yangiobod" MFY, and drowned.
During the pre-investigation checks, no signs of a crime were found in the incident.
According to the preliminary conclusion of the forensic medical examination, death may have been caused by mechanical asphyxia resulting from the blockage of the upper respiratory tract with water.
Also, during the inspection, with the participation of specialists from the Navbakhor district department of "Regional Electric Networks," a water pump near the canal was checked. When the equipment was lowered into the water, it was found that there was no electric current.
Currently, pre-investigation checks are ongoing by the Navbakhor district prosecutor's office regarding this incident.
