Missouri, USA - In a heart-wrenching incident, a young student from Telangana, India, lost his life in a tragic drowning accident in Missouri, USA. Kiran, a resident of Chinna Korukondi village in Khammam district, had traveled to the US in November 2023 to pursue higher education.
On Saturday, Kiran, who was studying for his MS degree in Sandhills Town, went swimming with three friends. Unfortunately, he did not know how to swim.
Despite his friends’ desperate attempts to save him, Kiran tragically drowned. The swimming pool, which was eight feet deep, became the site of the young student's untimely death.
The grief-stricken family, already bearing the loss of Kiran's father, Laxman Raju, is now facing another devastating blow. Kiran’s mother, who resides in Hyderabad, and his grandfather, Krishnamurthy Raju, who had supported Kiran’s educational journey, are in deep sorrow.
The village of Chinna Korukondi is shrouded in mourning as they await the arrival of Kiran’s body, expected by Thursday.
Srinatharaju Kiran, 20, a student from Khammam district, drowned while swimming in Missouri on Saturday. Kiran hailed from Chinna Korukondi village in Kallur Mandal and was pursuing his MS in Sandhills Town.
His friends were unable to rescue him as they, too, could not swim, watching helplessly as Kiran drowned.
This tragic event has plunged Kiran's family into profound grief, adding to the pain of losing his father earlier. The community in Chinna Korukondi is mourning the loss of a young life full of promise and potential.
