A man died and another person was rescued after a drowning incident in the Paraná River at Jurerê Nacional, Rosana, Brazil.
On Sunday morning in Rosana, São Paulo, two individuals experienced a drowning incident at Jurerê Nacional in the Paraná River. The local firefighters responded to the scene around 11:20 AM after being alerted to the emergency. One victim was found in cardiac arrest, and despite being rushed to the local Santa Casa hospital, he could not be revived and was pronounced dead.
The second victim was rescued conscious but disoriented, and as of the last update, there was no further information on their health status. The incident highlights the dangers associated with recreational activities in the area, where the municipality noted that Jurerê Nacional is federally owned and not under direct local administration. This has led the municipality to formally request support for a permanent presence of the Fire Department in the area to enhance safety measures.
The drowning incident has raised concerns within the community regarding water safety and the adequacy of emergency response resources available during busy recreational times. With the city's request for assistance, there may be a renewed focus on ensuring better preparation for such emergencies at popular leisure spots like Jurerê Nacional, especially during weekends and holidays when visitor numbers peak.
