The body of an ultra-Orthodox youth who swam last night in Lake Pleasant, Maricopa County, Arizona, was found after extensive searches were conducted after him.
The ultra-Orthodox boy, the late 20-year-old Neria Arnebiev, a resident of the Queens borough of New York, apparently stayed in Arizona for the Passover holiday, with many ultra-Orthodox coming from New York and New Jersey to countries in this area that are warmer and have more pleasant weather. Pleasant is used by many families for camping, sailing and swimming.
Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon (local time), the local fire and rescue agency reported that it had begun searching for a man who was involved in a boating accident and had not yet come out of the water.
According to a report on the local website FOX10, it was initially believed that a collision occurred between two boats on the lake. After about half an hour of divers searching for him, it was decided to transfer the mission to the Maricopa County Police Station.

“It was not a collision of the boat. Several people were on one boat moored. Several people swam in the water and one person was in distress. The man was declared missing and the police station will handle the incident from here,” Barbie explained. ” The friends could not reach him in time. “
“It’s been a while since he’s probably drowned, and by the time friends called the emergency center and by the time our fire boat reached them, that person had been underwater for a while,” Barbie said.
The rescue agency warned the crowds arriving at the scene during this period. “It’s always worthwhile, when on the water, to have a cell phone on hand, and everyone should have a buoyancy aid such as a sea wheel.”
Sergeant Calbert Gillette of the police station added and described the situation: “We had an adult man who swam from the boat to shore and tried to swim back. He went underwater and did not climb again. This incident occurred in the Agua Priya area of Pleasant Lake. Police chiefs are now participating in the scans.”
In the last minutes (Monday) the hard news was received about finding the body of the late Neria, after the lengthy scans in the lake water.
