No Foul Play Detected in Death of Mother and Son at Devils Bridge
Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney has said that the accident that occurred at the Devils Bridge, where a five-year-old and his mother died, was an accident.
Rodney said after investigation which included eyewitness accounts, the deaths of 37-year-old Mohini Misra and her son Shray have been ruled as an accident.
At the time of the incident, the woman, her son, and her husband, Satwik Misra, were at the Devil’s Bridge.
They had come just hours before returning to Canada to take photos of the sunset.
According to reports, a wave struck the boy, who grabbed onto his mother. They both fell into the water.
The father and husband, Satwik Misra, could not save them.
