Other deaths

The Imperial Canal, passing through Gallur, has been the scene of other drowning deaths.

The man, José Manuel GP, 28,

managed to rescue and bring the woman to safety,

which he deposited on the shore.

However, when he lost his strength, he sank into the waters of the canal and was drowned.

In June 2011, the first day of the local festivities, a car.

occupied by four young people, it rushed into the section of the canal that runs through the urban area and one of them, the driver, could no longer surface, for which he

died drowned.

The other three occupants managed to open the vehicle's doors, and swam up the steep and slippery banks of the canal.

Then, without time to recover from the shock, they plunged back into the murky waters of the river in search of the companion who had not managed to get out, but could not extract him from the car.
