YWN regrets to inform you of the tragic Petira of 4-year-old Shimon Weiss Z”L who drowned in a swimming pool in Swan Lake on Sunday evening.
As YWN had reported, Catskills Hatzolah was called at around 6:45PM to the KMS Bungalow Colony on Mount Hope Road.
Paramedics were called, and after extensive resuscitation efforts on the child for more than 30 minutes, Paramedics stated that they had a pulse back on the child, and were requesting that the child be airlifted to Westchester Medical center.
The child was flown to the hospital and everything was done to continue to stabilize him.
Tehillim was recited around the clock, but tragically, at around 6:30 Monday morning, Shimon Weiss was Niftar, with his family around the bed.
Bikur Cholim of Rockland is a working with the Westchester Medican Examiner to expedite the release of the Niftar.
The Levaya will take place on Monday afternoon at 2:00PM at the Chernoble Bais Hamedrash on 12th Avenue and 41 Streets in Boro Park.
The family are residents of Boro Park (Father is R’ Aviezer)
Boruch Dayan HaEmmes…

B’DHE. Hopefully, we won’t have too many more of these accidents over the summer. As we have seen time after time, it takes just a second or two of looking the other way and a young child can get into trouble.
Just a correction. Hopefully we won’t have ANYMORE of these accidents.
HaMakom yenachem et’chem b’toch shar avay’lay Tzion vee’Yerushalayim.
