Indian celebrity drowns in Maldives
Updated at: 2140 PST, Tuesday, July 29, 2008
COLOMBO: Indian celebrity singer Ishmeet Singh drowned Tuesday in a Maldivian resort, a hotel official said.
Singh, 20, had been frolicking in a shallow pool meant for children and later jumped into the deep-end of the main swimming pool and had immediately run into difficulty, an official of the Dhonveli resort said.
"We understand that he did not know how to swim and had been advised by his friends not to get to the deep end," a hotel official said when contacted from Colombo. His body was taken to the capital island Male, about half an hour by speedboat.
He had arrived in the Indian Ocean atoll nation earlier Tuesday to sing at a musical concert on Friday. He had won the "Voice of India" singing competition organised by the Star television network and shot to stardom in November.
