Emergency responders arrived as a rescue attempt led a U.S. guest and a pool attendant to suffer injuries. Investigators are focusing on the pool’s underwater lighting, which Hindustan Times reports as the likely source of the electrical fault. The Independent and Simple Flying note that a Lufthansa crew member was among the deceased, while The Times of India identifies the victims as a German pilot and a Slovak manager.

Fox News adds that the rescue effort itself caused additional harm, but details on the equipment failure remain sparse. Authorities have not released a final cause, and no official statement confirms that the lighting system malfunctioned. The extent of injuries to the rescuers and the condition of other pool users have not been detailed.

Ongoing inquiry will determine whether design flaws or maintenance lapses contributed to the shock, leaving the precise trigger of the tragedy unresolved.
