More than $600,000 has been raised in an account the organizer said will go to the families of the three Chandler residents who drowned this week in an icy northern Arizona lake.
A mother and father of two as well as another parent, all Indian nationals, were the drowning victims recovered from a frigid Arizona lake.
The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the identities of 49-year-old Narayana Muddana and his wife, Haritha Muddana, and 47-year-old Gokul Mediseti.
Authorities said deputies in Forest Lakes responded Monday afternoon to reports that three people were missing in Woods Canyon Lake.
Rescuers pulled Haritha Muddana from the water, but she was pronounced dead. The two men were found the next day.
Jon Paxton, a sheriff’s office spokesman, told ABC-15 TV in Phoenix that the trio were part of a group of three families who had driven up from their Chandler homes to enjoy the outdoors the day after Christmas.
It appeared they “wanted to get some pictures out on the ice,” Paxton said.
That’s when the three parents fell through.
Authorities said the Arizona Department of Child Safety has temporarily taken custody of the Muddanas’ two daughters.
The account can be found at GoFundMe.
