The son of St. Petersburg director Demkin drowned in the Leningrad region

A two-year-old boy who disappeared in the Volkhovsky district of the Leningrad region has drowned. This information was confirmed to Izvestia by the child's father, St. Petersburg director Peter Demkin.

It is specified that the child's body was found in a pond.

Earlier, Demkin reported that his two sons were walking on a house plot. The eldest is about 4.5 years old, and the youngest is 2.5. The father went to the car for a few minutes to hang his wet clothes, and when he returned, he discovered that his youngest son was missing.

The man immediately began combing the area on his own, but the search did not bring results. The director noted that shortly before the incident, he had already taken his son away from a small river flowing nearby, where he was trying to wash his hands.

The latest case occurred in Krasnodar — a 14-year-old teenager drowned during rowing lessons.

On July 31, a nine-year-old boy drowned in the Elektrostal city district of the Moscow region on Yuzhny Pond. A group of children were playing soccer on the shore of a pond. After the ball fell into the water, a child born in 2017 went to get it. At a distance of about five meters from the shore, the boy went under water.
