The tragedy occurred around 5 p.m. on Saturday. A group of 5 or more young people were spending the afternoon at the river, near Ravine Chaude, when one of them was carried away by the current. His friends couldn’t do anything to save him. Help was called but it was already too late.
Carried away by the current
Unfortunately, the victim, a 24-year-old Guadeloupean, died at the scene. His body was last heard being recovered by firefighters who had to go through a parallel trail to access it.
The opportunity to remember during these summer holidays, caution when going out, at sea or on the river. Always watch the weather before going for a walk or swim.
