A young boy from Calgary who was rescued from a near-drowning incident in a river in British Columbia is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital, with his family expressing concerns about his lung injuries. Paul-Angelo Warren, aged nine, was swimming and diving in the Shuswap River close to Enderby on August 3 when he failed to resurface after diving underwater. Maria Warren, his mother, mentioned that bystanders at the beach acted swiftly to retrieve him from the water shortly after he went missing.
According to a statement from the RCMP, the boy was trapped against fallen debris by the river’s strong current before being rescued and administered CPR upon reaching the shore. Authorities suspect that he might have been submerged for up to 10 minutes. The child is currently receiving care at Vancouver Children’s Hospital, with his family remaining by his side throughout. Maria emphasized the importance of being present for her son, stating, “I always, always stay with him because I want to make sure that when he opens his eyes, he will see me right away and hear my voice.”
