Luck reportedly eluded them when the 3 boys dived into the pond but were unable to swim in view of its depth.
The fourth person who was the girl rushed home to report the incident but by the time a rescue team could arrive the three had died
Their bodies have since been deposited at a health facility in the area while police have commenced investigations into the incident.
