(ADW) A fishing trip ended in horror on Sunday morning when a 29 year-old man drowned in the Haute-Sûre lake.

A father and his son were fishing on the lake just after 8am, when the father went to their parked car nearby to fetch an umbrella. When he returned, his son was missing.

After a search he was shocked to discover his son’s body drifting on the surface of the water. He immediately attempted to resuscitate his son. Emergency services arrived, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

By order of the prosecutor an autopsy will now take place
