41 drowned this weekend

The latest weekend is said to be one of the most gruesome in many years in terms of deaths at the Baltic Sea, lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water in Poland. Between Friday, July 3, and Sunday, July 5, 41 people in Poland were found dead due to drowning. On Sunday only, 26 drowned. Since May 1, the number of drownings reached 124. These horrific statistics are a result of manifold factors. The temperatures in the aforementioned period were particularly high, enticing many Poles to repose by water bodies. Numerous cases of drownings involved swimming after consuming alcohol. Many people risk danger by deciding to relax in unguarded waters.
