On the afternoon of the 3rd, a girl in the second grade of elementary school who was playing in the water on a tributary of the Oi River in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture, drowned and was confirmed dead at the hospital where she was transferred.
Around 2:00 pm on the 3rd, a nearby person called 119 at Ieyamakawa, a tributary of the Oi River that flows through Kawane-cho, Shimada City, saying, "I lost track of the whereabouts of the girl who was playing in the river."
A search by the fire department found the girl about 30 minutes later in a river about 5 meters downstream, confirming her death at the hospital where she was transported.
According to the police, the person who died was Ayana Kanda (7), a second grader in the west of Kikugawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture, who took advantage of the Golden Week holidays with her parents, grandmother, and her brother and brother. It means that he was visiting the river.
