According to the police and fire authorities, at 3:35 pm on the same day, a woman in her 50s fell into the water at Baegun Valley in Idong-myeon, Pocheon-si.

Person A was rescued by the party and taken to the hospital in cardiac arrest. His heartbeat has returned, but he is said to be unconscious.

At around 5:22 pm that day, 119 rescue teams retrieved the body of a woman in her 50s who died from drowning under the bridge at Wangsukcheon Stream in Guri-si.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the incident, including ascertaining the identity of the woman.

At 10:45 a.m. in the Gyeongbancheon Stream, Gapyeong-gun, a man in his 70s, B, was swept away by the rapids and died while crossing the Gyeongbancheon Stream to feed a goat farm.

At 2:50 p.m., police received a report from a military official that a body was floating in the water near Pilseung Bridge, the northernmost tip of the Imjin River in Yeoncheon-gun, the border area with North Korea.

Police and fire departments searched the area, extending the range to the nearby Gunnam Dam, but might not find a body.

Earlier, on the 23rd of last month, the body of a woman believed to be a North Korean resident was also found downstream of Gunnam Dam on the Imjin River.
