According to witnesses, the accident happened when the twelve-year-old jumped daringly. “He did a double somersault into the water, surfaced briefly and his face was white,” police said. “Then he went under again.” All of that in the still cool water of Lake Millstatt, which has a maximum of 15 degrees there. “The boy was probably as a result of a failed jump so unhappy on the water surface that he lost consciousness,” the police said on Saturday.
