Five Dead in Ohio River Rescue | Miami News

Five adults, including a Honduran couple and their two young children, tragically lost their lives in the Scioto River after attempting to rescue a struggling swimmer. Four victims were Honduran nationals; the children are now in Ohio’s care while efforts continue to reunite them with relatives back home. A fundraising campaign has begun to cover funeral expenses and support the kids. Authorities warn of hidden dangers in rivers—even calm waters can be deadly—and swimming is strictly prohibited in city reservoirs. Repatriation of the bodies, pending identification, could take up to a month as Honduran and U.S. officials coordinate.
