Summary
Police on Monday identified the three people who drowned near Arrowhead Mountain Lake on the Lamoille River as Yazmin Yupangui, 11, Sandro Lala, 25, and Robert Coreno, 39.
Yupangui fell into the river while fishing, and her brother Lala jumped in to save her; authorities ruled both deaths accidental drownings.
Their bodies were found days later after an extensive search that also turned up Coreno, a Fairfax man who drowned after jumping in to save a 10-year-old child.
The child Coreno tried to rescue survived, underscoring that all three deaths stemmed from separate rescue attempts in the same river area last week.
