"According to reports, Ishmeet drowned in a swimming pool while having fun with his friends."

If you have fun with your friends in a swimming pool without knowing to swim, you must be DUMB. Yes I know that he's a good singer, just shows the carelessness.

+1. I am not saying that he deserved this extremely harsh irreversable punishment for doing something he shouldn't have, but the fact remains. This was a stupid thing to do.

I think he's 20? That's what the newspaper says :confused:

One more thing which I have noticed is friends pulling/pushing people who can't swim. That's frigging DUMB!! :mad: I've been at the recieving end so many times and I can't swim!! :( :mad:

I mean, he was just 19, had a budding career, everything seemed all set when one incident like this where he ends up paying with his life due to his own undoing. Who will dive into a pool without knowing how to swim? I really feel for him, but I'm more upset that he lost his life due to utter carelessness. :(
May his voice shine forever....

I don't think a winner like him would be staying in a hotel less than 3 or 5 star, moreover with no lifeguards around?
