The body of a 13-year-old boy was pulled from Pine Ridge Dam.
The incident occurred on Saturday, January 13 at around 17:00.
Divers were called to the scene and so was the dog unit which was used to sniff out a location of where the body was situated in the water.
The divers spent some time in the water and eventually the body was pulled from the water.
Paramedics were waiting for the body to be retrieved and the 13-year-old was declared dead on scene.
With the soaring temperatures, swimming in cool water brings some welcome relief. But drowning is an ever present risk when people go on outings to rivers, beaches, dams and swimming pools.
