Earlier this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study showing that drowning deaths were on the rise in the United States, after decades of decline.
Three people drowned near a hiking area in Tulare County on Friday, the latest incidents in the state as drowning deaths are on the rise across California and the country. Local media reported that the deaths happened around the Seven Teacups hiking area, which is near Johnsondale. The fire department initially responded to a possible drowning around 5:20 p.m. on Friday and arrived to find three people dead at the scene. Another victim reportedly sustained major injuries.
Another man saved his son, but the father went under and his body was later recovered from the water. It was reportedly the fifth drowning in the area. At least four people have died on the Yuba River since the start of the year, according to media reports.
