Another death at the canyon?

[Thailand]

Just heard that a young Korean died at the canyon reservoir just off the canal road near the Hangdong golf course.

Any confirmation?

Here is a Google Translation of the accident and confirms that perhaps 1 drowned out of 4 members ( 3 men and 1 women). Not clear how many actually drowned though.

//edit - seems one died - Mr. Choi Daegu, Korea, 21

Great place for the experienced swimmer, but 40m deep.

Don't go if you can't swim really well.

Looks like one Korean guy aged 21 died.

Sad that someone so young is dead.

South Korean tourist's body found

July 14, 2014 3:22 pm

The body of a South Korean tourist was found in a large man-made lake in Chiang Mai's Hang Dong district Monday.

Song Tae Khy, 22, apparently drowned while swimming there with friends on July 11. Known as the Grand Canyon Hang Dong, the spot is a tourist attraction.

Pol Captain Chakrapad Songmoon, an investigator at the Hang Dong Police Station, said police rushed to the lake and deployed divers in a bid to locate the tourist's body last Friday.

"But the water is over 40 metres deep. One of the four divers bled from ears. So, the operation had to stop and we have decided to wait till the body floated up itself," he said.
