Reuven Simon’s father Joshy told the hearing that his son had been “kind and courageous”
A teenager died as he tried to save his friend from drowning while swimming in a Co Derry lough, an inquest has been told.
One of the first to give evidence was Reuven’s brother Evan, who said that a number of friends had met up on that sunny afternoon and made a plan to go swimming. They cycled to the lough where most of the boys entered the water. “I became aware of Joseph getting into trouble, he was maybe three metres further into the lake than I was. He was moving away from me, I thought he might be caught on something or the current was moving him away, I am not sure.Evan said that his brother Reuven had gone to try and help his friend Joseph.
