Rescue workers, including an airplane and helicopter of the National Police, and dozens of friends and relatives were not able to locate the corpses of two of three brothers who drowned in the Najayo Beach on Saturday, 7 March. The three brothers, Hector, Francisco, and Roberto German Encarnacion and brother-in-law, Puerto Rican Miguel Marquez drowned. Civil Defense workers say that what most likely happened was that an undercurrent 300 meters from the beach area caught one of the brothers, pulling him into a deep trough. The other three died trying to rescue him. The brothers were bathing in a beach area that is considered off limits to bathing. With the exception of Roberto, whose wife will give birth to their first son in a month, the brothers were single. They were the sons of retired Police colonel Ramón Emilio Germán and Nilda Encarnación. The couple has four other children, Alberto, Josefina, Margarita and Emilio Germán. The brothers were university students or worked at private companies in Santo Domingo. They lived in the Herrera district.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
