Pregnant woman drowns trying to help her husband and son
A family of three disappeared after swimming in a pond near the village of Yagodnya in the Moscow region. The story took place last Saturday, June 11, when the Ilyins - Viktor, 24, his wife Anastasia, 24, and their son Daniil, 5 - went to swim in a local pond and never returned back home. Viktor's Ford Focus was found near the pond. The doors of the cars were left open. Their clothes, cell phones and a digital camera were found on the ground near the car. The photos on the camera showed the last moments of the life of the young family. A rubber boat was found floating in the pond, which gave detectives a reason to think that the two adults and their son drowned. The bodies were found only when the pond was drained. Forensic experts said that Viktor might have had a convulsion of his leg muscles and started drowning together with his little son. Viktor's wife was watching them from the bank of the pond. Most likely, she rushed to help her loved ones, but drowned herself.
