they found 3 dead kids in the river behind my high school o_o''
Appartantly they just drowned, but what i dont understand is why its a TOP headline on CNN etc. It says no foul play and sometimes when they put up an accident as a top headline its because they suspect homicide etc.
either way... weird.

Missing children found dead in river
Thursday, May 26, 2005 Posted: 4:00 PM EDT (2000 GMT)


BARRE, Vermont (AP) -- Two young brothers and a friend were found dead in a frigid river Thursday after they apparently lost their footing while playing in the fast-moving stream, authorities said.

Justin Nutbrown, 13, Joshua Nutbrown, 11, and Allison Hansen, also 11, were last seen Wednesday after school heading into the woods to play. A search began later that night, and the bodies were found Thursday morning near where the children were last seen, authorities said.

Police believe the children were attempting to cross the stream when they slipped and fell.

"I am fairly confident in saying it is my belief that this is a tragic accident," police Chief Trevor Whipple said. "Information we have seen at the scene indicates they were playing around, perhaps in the brook. The brook is lined with very slippery rocks."

Joshua was in the fourth grade and his brother was a seventh-grader. Allison, a fifth-grader, was staying at the home of the brothers.

"The impact of one (child death) is enormous. The impact of three is incomprehensible," said principal James Taffel. "There are so many children who either knew the children or knew children who knew them."

The school system in Barre, a town of about 9,000 people, has dealt with a number of tragedies in recent years. In December 2003, a kindergartner was run over and killed by a school bus. In 2000, a high school student was murdered.

"Unfortunately, we're really good at this," Superintendent Dorothy Anderson said of her school's ability to respond to tragedy.

how do three kids drown all at the same time?? Did they all fall and hit their heads on the same rock at the same time?

IS the river a really deep one with undertows and a heavy current?

This sounds very strange. Kids can swim.
