After spending several days in critical condition, two Texas A&M students died from injuries they sustained during a near-drowning incident at Lake Bryan on Aug. 26, according the Bryan Police Department.
Nikhil Bhatia, a 24-year-old male, died Aug. 29 and Shalini Singh, a 25-year-old female, died Sep. 2.
“According to reports, Bhatia and three friends went to the lake and were swimming when Bhatia and a 25 year old female started to drown,” BPD said in a statement. “The other two friends flagged down a bystander at the lake. The bystander pulled Bhatia out of the water while the Officer who had arrived on scene pulled the female out. The bystander and the officer performed CPR on the two individuals until other officers and medical personnel arrived.”
