Janisish Kumar Patel, 30, and Bhavesh Patel, 30, found drowned in Fossil Creek after swimming in waterfall in Gila County, Arizona
Officials: Men who drowned at Fossil Creek were swimming near waterfall
The bodies of Janisish Kumar Patel, 30, and Bhavesh Patel, 30, — both from San Jose — were found under Fossil Creek Falls on Sunday morning, according to Gila County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Tim Scott. The men are believed to have drowned.
Authorities had been searching the night before after receiving a call about a possible drowning involving two people but had to postpone the search because it became too dark to see, officials said.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
