Delaware County Sheriff Jeffrey Balzer stated that investigators believe the drownings occurred when one adult began struggling, prompting the others to go to their aid. Four of the five victims were identified as Honduran citizens, including Jose Mario Pineda Dias and Marina Suyapa Regalado, with Honduran officials working to repatriate their bodies. The tragedy orphaned two children, ages 8 and 10, who are expected to be reunited with relatives in Honduras after being placed in Ohio child welfare custody.
