Teenage Girl Missing from Daegu Geumhogang Gangchanggyo Found Dead

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] At around 7:10 a.m. on the 11th, a body presumed to be that of a teenage female student was found near the Geumho River floodgate in Jukgok-ri, Dasa-eup, Dalseong-gun, Daegu.

The police believe that the drowned person is likely the student who fell while walking over Gangchang Bridge in Maegok-ri, Dasa-eup, at 7:19 p.m. on the 8th, and are investigating the identity and specific circumstances.

The missing female student reportedly fell under the bridge while crossing Gangchang Bridge with an acquaintance at the time. At the time of the accident, heavy rain exceeding 50mm per hour poured over the Dalseong-gun area, causing the water level of the Geumho River to rise significantly.

The police and fire authorities had difficulty searching due to heavy rain but found the female student four days after her disappearance by deploying helicopters and other resources.
