Six rescue divers drowned while searching for a 17-year-old boy in a disused mining pond in Malaysia on Oct. 3. Following the deaths, the Selangor government is ordering the mining pond to close.
The teen, who has not yet been found, was about to start fishing near the banks of the mining pond in Taman Putra Perdana, of Puchong, Selangor, when he slipped and fell into the pond around 5:50 p.m. Two friends who were with him quickly sought help from nearby residents.
