Padua – Two boys went missing in Brenda river.
More than a month after the Natisone tragedy, the scene is repeating itself. Some witnesses also tried to save the youth who had fallen into the water to no avail. According to the initial reconstruction, a 23-year-old boy from Sri Lanka went to bathe in Brenda, and at a certain point, after a short distance, he started to stop touching and drowned. A thirty-year-old Romanian, having run out of the ball at Brenda, turns to the river to retrieve the ball and sees a twenty-four-year-old man floundering. He jumped up and tried to save him, and held his hand. However, the strong current engulfed him as well and both disappeared. It happened today, Sunday 14 July, in Campo San Martino (Padua). The story takes us to three friends, Christian, Bianca and Patricia, with that hug in the middle of the Nadizone water, creating an unforgettable image. The three boys, last May 31, were surprised by the flood of netizens and hugged each other as they tried to resist the force of the current. All immortalized on video.
What happened at Brenda’s
According to eyewitnesses, a 23-year-old man from Sri Lanka had trouble going to bathe in the Brenda River, which has waterfalls, when the water was too high.

Both were lost by the current. Searches are now underway, with firefighters on site along with boats and divers.
