Teen Drowns During Swimming Class After Teacher Fails To Notice Him Struggling

Malvrick Donkor, a 14-year old high school student from Connecticut was recently found dead in his school’s pool. He was reportedly under water for nearly 20 minutes before being discovered at the deep end of the pool. Upon discovery, Donkor, who recently moved to the U.S. from Ghana, was immediately rushed to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

An anonymous source told a local newspaper that a surveillance tape from the scene shows Donkor getting into the pool and disappearing underwater, where he then went unnoticed as other students swam around him. After watching the video, she commented, "There’s no splashing, no flailing like you would typically think of. He just slipped underwater, and other kids were swimming over the top of him, not knowing he was down below."
