Чиновница из Сум утонула в реке Ворскла: всплыли неожиданные детали трагедии
30-year-old official from Sumy died in a river under strange circumstances
Under strange circumstances, a 30-year-old official Karina Kozupitsa drowned in the river in Sumy. She went with friends to the Vorskla River and dived there, but unfortunately, she could not emerge. Eyewitnesses say that the oxygen in the tank has run out.
Locals are very surprised why divers choose this river, there is a muddy bottom and nothing is visible. This is due to the fact that now the tourism opportunities for Ukrainians are not so great.
Karina Kozupitsa was relaxing at the weekend with her family at the recreation center of the Smorodina depot in the village of Klimentovo, Akhtyrsky District. Then she decided to dive and go diving.
"This time there were men who were engaged in diving, were scuba diving, diving into the river. The first time I saw them here. This girl came with the company. And either one of the divers was familiar, or she just came up to them and they suggested she try to dive, I won’t tell you. Two guys with scuba dives swam with her. And she seemed to have run out of oxygen in her balloon, she got scared and started to sink. One of the divers tried to pull her out, but both drowned, OBOZREVATEL employee base.
Local residents do not know the exact cause of death of the young official.
"They say that she got entangled in algae or a net, and therefore she drowned. We hear for the first time that someone dives in Vorskla. There are divers who clean the bottom. But no one dives on the river. But they always go kayaking. It has already become a business, tourists are being brought in, rafting down the river, they are being taken away and taken away, "said one of the local residents.
Karina's acquaintances are sure that one of the divers was familiar with her, so she would not have dived. She is remembered as a kind and smiling girl, she was distinguished by decency. Recently, she worked as a lawyer in the Sumy Regional Council.

I grew up in the capital of that circus and met the clowns; the first thing I'd want to see is the coroner's report on victims' blood alcohol level.

Salient points: nobody SCUBA-dives in these rivers except poachers. It's typical muck vis and depths are 5-6 metres. There's fish and that's about it. Hunting on SCUBA was illegal in .ua last I heard, hence "poachers".

Here there was a bunch of guys with SCUBA gear in the middle of a beach party who offered an impromptu "discover scuba" muck dive to a random attractive stranger (maybe not a total stranger). Given her background, I highly doubt she had prior SCUBA experince.
