Triplets Drown in Pool
in Panama
The 1 1/2-year-old
triplets of an Italian
U.N. World Food Program
official drowned at a
home on the outskirts of
Panama City, officials
said Monday.
The three children, two
girls and a boy, chased
their dog out into the
yard Sunday and fell
into the pool, said
Alejandro Lopez Chicheri,
the program's spokesman
in Panama. He declined
to give further details.
"The family is
completely destroyed ...
and requests privacy,"
he said.
He did not identify the
family by name, but said
the children were
Italian citizens whose
father worked at the
World Food Program in
Panama.
Chicheri said the
children's father was
not in Panama at the
time, but their mother
and other relatives were
at the house.
Prosecutor Eduardo
Guevara said the deaths
were being investigated,
but appeared to be
accidental.
