5 electrocuted in Turkey's water park

ISTANBUL -- Five people, including three teenagers, died on Friday after getting electrocuted inside a pool in a water park in northwestern Turkey, local media reported.

Three youngsters aged 12, 15 and 17 were caught up in electrical current in the park pool in the Akyazi district of Sakarya province, the private Dogan news agency said.

The park's manager and his son lost their lives as well when they dived into the pool to try to rescue the teens, while two others were slightly injured as they touched metal parts at the edge of the pool.

The gendarmerie has sent officers to look into the cause of the incident, Dogan said. (Xinhua/PNA)
