The two young people who drowned in the Prut are Moldovans. According to the Moldovan rescuers, the two young men aged 20 and 21 were from the district of Ungheni.

Presumably, the victims went bathing on Friday, but never came out of the water.

A Romanian fisherman discovered the bodies on Sunday and alerted the authorities.

Border police officers and criminals who came to the scene did not find signs of violence, which led the cops to the hypothesis of an accidental drowning.
