The incident took place at the swimming pool adjacent to the central playground of DU on Monday (April 22). When his classmates rescued him unconscious, he was taken to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College (DMH) Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
The classmate who brought Swaad Haque to the hospital. Sohag said that many students of DU were taking a bath in the swimming pool in the afternoon. Many people were swimming there from one side to the other. Then they saw that everyone was around the edge of the swimming pool. If you go ahead, you will know that Soad was drowned in water. Immediately after taking him to DM, the doctor checked the examination and declared Swad dead.
Molla Taimur Rahman, another student of DU, said that Swaad was his junior. While taking a bath in the swimming pool, when Pare saw the crowd, it was his classmates who were trying to force out the water by squeezing his stomach. No swimming pool staff or authorities offered any kind of help. Sowad’s classmates found out that he had breathing problems. That’s why even if you know how to swim, you can suddenly get sick and die while taking a bath.
