A 16-year-old girl from Wuxing District in Huzhou, Zhejiang, reportedly jumped into a river after fighting with her parents; they had forbidden her from using her phone.
The girl got into a heated argument with her parents over her playing with her phone while the 3 were out shopping.
The girl then jumped into the river, which was right beside the road that the family was on.
Her mother, who couldn’t swim, jumped into the river without a second thought to save her daughter.
Both mother and daughter drowned to their deaths, with their bodies sinking to the bottom of the river.
Because the river waters were exceptionally murky, it took rescuers several hours to locate their bodies.
The girl’s body was found by rescuers first, and her mother was found much later.
