Teenage twin brothers died Friday after one tried saving the other from drowning in a Miami lake, officials said.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded at around 3 p.m. to Arthur Woodard Park at Northwest 99th Street after a call of two people in the water.

The twins were playing near the lake when one of the twins was pushed in the water by another teen. Miami-Dade Police said in a news conference.

The twin’s brother then jumped into the lake to help, but the boys did not know how to swim and started to drown, police said.

Fire officials said three divers were searching the lake for the victims. Both teens were eventually pulled from the water and paramedics gave them CPR before transporting them to a local hospital.

One of the twins was pronounced dead at the hospital, and the other was listed as critical, police said.

His condition deteriorated and he died at the hospital.

According to the CDC, in 2022 Florida ranked 6th in the U.S. per capita for unintentional drowning deaths among children ages 0 to 17 years of age.

The Florida Department of Children and Families reported 93 drownings in 2022. This year, there have already been 22 drownings in the state of Florida.
