A Venezue­lan na­tion­al drowned yes­ter­day while clean­ing a pond in Bar­rack­pore. He has been iden­ti­fied as 23-year-old Zeiller Emer­son Gon­za­les, who was stay­ing at GP Road, Bar­rack­pore.

Gon­za­les was part of a group—in­clud­ing oth­er Venezue­lan na­tion­als—who had been hired to clean a pond at Sur­prise Road. Around 3:30 p.m., he got in­to dif­fi­cul­ty and went un­der.

Hours lat­er, mem­bers of the Hunters Search and Res­cue Team, led by Val­lence Ramb­harat, lo­cat­ed his body.
