This is a tragic accident - condolences to the family.

Sometimes however I wonder since I did see myself a Chinese tourist jumping into a pool which is 3 meters deep. He was rescued since there was a lifebelt at the pool which could be thrown to him. If you can not swim you would expect to check the depth of the water first?

Even if you can swim - check the depth of the water first.

Otherwise, you could dive in and break your neck.

Wonder how different all the above comments would be if the 61 year old had been a Brit or American or ...

Perhaps you could tell us what the comments would be as you're inferring they would be different. OTOH , maybe you don't know but just couldn't resist 'putting your oar in'.
