It was established that the deceased was Karimzoda Dilshod, born in 2007, a resident of the village of Makhshevat, Jamoat Fondaria, Ayni district, Sughd region. The young man was swimming in a section of Lake Iskandarkul prohibited for swimming, where accidents regularly occur due to the depth and underwater currents.
