Tragedy in the US: Three Siblings Drown After Falling into Frozen Pond – Their Mother Tried to Save Them

Three siblings, aged six, eight, and nine, lost their lives in Texas, USA, after falling into a frozen pond while attempting to ice skate. Their mother, Seyene Hangaman, tried to save them, but the ice continued to break. Ms. Hangaman described her children as full of personality and expressed her grief over their loss. The family was near the pond when the youngest boy fell through the ice while trying to skate. The two older brothers jumped in to help him, but all three children ended up in the freezing water. Their mother did everything she could to save them, but the ice was too thin. Authorities recovered the two older boys from the pond and transported them to a hospital, where their deaths were confirmed. The youngest boy was later recovered after an extensive search. Ms. Hangaman urged other families to be careful near frozen ponds and to keep their children close.
