Actor Federico Nahuel Ramon dies in tragic kayaking accident on Argentinian lake
An actor has died in a tragic kayaking accident on a lake after apparently losing his balance and falling into the water in a deep area where he drowned after suffering hypothermia.
Federico Nahuel Ramon, said to be 27 in some local media reports and 39 in others, drowned in Lake Nahuel Huapi, in Argentina's northern Patagonia region, on Tuesday, December 17.
Fede, as his loved ones called him, had trained at the Metropolitan School of Dramatic Arts in Buenos Aires and was an actor, a clown, a teacher and a lighting technician.
The actor was kayaking on the lake, with investigators saying that they believe that he lost his balance and fell into the water in a deep and cold area where he suffered hypothermia and subsequently drowned.
His lifeless body was found in the lake by a local resident who was sailing in the area. His body was found shortly after his family reported his disappearance to the authorities, saying they were unable to reach him.
Paying tribute to him, his colleagues said that, as a clown and actor, he managed to connect with the public through humour and empathy.
