Tragic Drowning in Dublin's Inner Dock | Belfast News

A tragic drowning in Dublin’s Inner Dock claims the life of 33-year-old construction worker Robson Nkomo, who fell into the water while intoxicated with a friend. Despite his companion’s heroic 45-minute effort to keep him afloat and help from a passer-by with a lifebuoy, rescue was too late. Nkomo, with a blood-alcohol level nearly four times the legal limit, was also weighed down by fatigue, a heavy backpack, and a recent hand injury. Though a strong swimmer, the cold water and his condition made survival impossible. The coroner ruled it a misadventure, as the family mourns a vibrant life cut short.
