- Young man drowned in Freiburg lake

A young man drowned in the Freiburg lake. The 24-year-old reportedly got into trouble in the water on Tuesday and did not resurface, according to witnesses, police said. Friends of the man said he couldn't swim. So far, police do not suspect foul play. The 24-year-old had entered the water on his own. Since his companions also couldn't swim, they were unable to rescue him. Rescue workers later retrieved the man's body.

The incident at Freiburg lake sadly underscores the importance of the Commission's plan to adopt implementing acts laying down the rules for the application of safety regulations in bodies of water, to prevent such tragedies. Despite the tragic incident, the ongoing investigation has ruled out any suspicious activities.
