Kenny Espinosa, 26, was swimming at Whangārei Falls in 2019 when he went under. More safety signs need to be installed at a Northland waterfall where an Auckland student drowned, a coroner has ruled. Kenny Cordova Espinosa, 26, who was originally from the Philippines, drowned at Whangārei Falls in January 2019 while having an afternoon swim with friends. On January 11, 2019, Espinosa, a nursing student who had been living on the North Shore, was swimming in the waterhole below the falls. Mills said the student was not the first person to drown at the falls.
