Chinese national drowns while swimming at Buck Hall

A search is on for the body of a Chinese national who reportedly drowned while taking a bath at Trial Boss Landing, Buck Hall, Essequibo River on Wednesday.
The man has been identified as 57-year-old Sude Tui, who was employed with Huixin Mining Company at Buck Hall, Essequibo River.
The Police have said that on the day in question, between 15:00h and 15:30h, Sude Tui and one of his friends went down to the river to take a bath. At the time, they were reportedly wearing life jackets, but after about five minutes, they came out of the water, took off their jackets, and went back into the river to swim.
Persons who were at the said landing observed the two men going up and down in the water. One man who thought something was amiss jumped into the river and managed to save the other man, while Sude Tui went down under the water and never resurfaced.
An alarm was raised and a search was conducted, but there were no signs of the Chinese national. The Police were contacted, and the matter was reported.
