A heartbreaking incident from Ningbo, China, has gone viral after a 37-year-old father died while teaching his young daughter how to dive. The tragedy occurred on October 18, when the man demonstrated a dive in a pool only 1.1 meters deep. As he plunged headfirst, he struck the pool’s floor, fracturing his cervical spine and becoming instantly paralyzed. Shockingly, his body floated motionless for nearly 16 minutes before others realised something was wrong and pulled him out. The father was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries five days later. Authorities later confirmed that the pool was far too shallow for diving and issued a warning urging parents to ensure water safety, especially around children. The devastating video has since gone viral. China: 103-Year-Old Woman Dies After 80 Years of Waiting for Missing Husband; Family Vows to Continue Search.
