Body Found in the Sava River Between Hrtkovci and Platičevo: The Dead River Keeps Shocking!
Have you heard of the “Dead River”? No, it’s not a horror movie, but a grim reality on the Sava River, between the villages of Hrtkovci and Platičevo, in the municipality of Ruma. Today, the body of an unknown person was found, partially submerged in the water and partially leaning against the shore.
Local fishermen were the first to spot the body and immediately alerted the authorities. Police and fire-rescue teams quickly arrived and are currently pulling the body from the water. The identity, gender, and cause of death remain unknown. An investigation is underway, with autopsy results pending.
Why is this part of the Sava called the “Dead River”?
Fishermen say this stretch of the river is known for its peculiar flow and frequent whirlpools. The water slows down, forming natural pockets of mud and branches that, according to fishermen, trap whatever the river brings — from trees and barrels to, unfortunately, bodies.
The shore is hard to access, mostly reachable only by boat, which complicates rescue operations and investigations.
The Dead River as a Silent Witness to Tragedies
Fishermen and locals claim the river often silently witnesses similar tragedies. Is this just another tragic event, or something that should alarm us all?
While the police do their job, the question remains: how many more secrets does this river hide? And are we ready to find out?
Just Imagine…
If you were a fisherman and the first to see such a scene. What would you think? Is this a sign that something is wrong with our environment? Is it time to seriously address the safety and condition of the rivers around us?
