A search is under way for a male visitor from the United States of America, believed to have drowned while at a popular attraction in Ocho Rios, St. Ann earlier today.
Reports are that at about 1:15 p.m, a family was at the attraction when the 45 year old mother, who was at the top of the waterfalls, fell.
Her 20 year old son then attempted to assist her, but he too fell into the water.
The young man then disappeared under the waterfalls and did not resurface.
Local divers, assisted by the police, fire fighters and soldiers are searching the area for the man.
It’s further reported that the family is staying at a hotel in Montego Bay, St. James and had been scheduled to depart the island tomorrow.
