Police have launched an inquest into the death of a Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) postgraduate student who tragically fell into a swimming pool at a student residence over the weekend. According to Tshwane police spokesperson Captain Johan van Dyk, the incident occurred at approximately 00:05 on Saturday, when a group of students who had gathered for a social event at the pool area of a TUT residence in Arcadia were warned to stay away from the pool area after 20:00.
Van Dyk stated that a 30-year-old male student fell into the pool and, despite the efforts of bystanders to remove him from the water, he was declared dead at the scene. The cause of death remains unknown as part of the ongoing investigation. An inquest has been registered at Sunnyside SAPS for further investigation. TUT spokesperson Phaphama Tshisikhawe confirmed the student's death at the Zethushof student residence.
