A minor girl drowned after falling into an irrigation canal, the Ministry of the Interior announced.
The incident was reported on June 11. According to initial data, a group of children and their relatives were in the territory of the Pazardzhik village Tsrancha.
A 15-year-old girl from Rakitovo fell into the "Aleko Potoka" canal, which at that time was full of fast-flowing water. The current easily dragged the child in the direction of the neighboring village of Patalenitsa.
Uniform firefighters also arrived at the scene. About a kilometer downstream, the teams found and retrieved the body of the drowned girl.
The body has been transported for an autopsy and the case is being investigated under the supervision of the prosecutor's office.
