KUANTAN (Bernama): Two men drowned after they fell into an iron ore mining pool in Batu Talam, Raub on Friday (Sept 10). Based on early investigations, they are believed to have been sucked into a drain pipe in the approximately 5m-deep pool. "A digger was used to help water drain faster from the pool to look for Siak, whose body was discovered near the first victim at 1.15pm,” said Supt Kama Azural in a statement Friday. He said the bodies were recovered by the Pahang Fire and Rescue Department at 1.20pm and sent to Hospital Raub for a post-mortem. "An excavator was used to dig a ditch to lower the water level, while a rope was used to help raise the bodies," the statement read.
