Tourists nearby jumped in and managed to save Polavarapu’s fiancé. After a search of nearly 40 minutes, Polavarapu was found trapped under a heavy tree branch in the water, the news site said.
Emergency responders performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation but she remained motionless. The responders took Polavarapu to Sweetwater Hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead, the report said.
