Two South Carolina Teens Drown After Bridge Jump Dare

The bodies were recovered following a weekend search at Lake Hartwell; both students attended D.W. Daniel High School.

  • Rayan Al-Nasser, 16, and Zakaria Chaar, 15, were found in 15 feet of water after jumping from a bridge.
  • The teens were part of a group chat discussing the challenge before the incident occurred.
  • A third teen was rescued by a boater, but the other two could not be located until Monday.
  • Emergency teams from multiple counties participated in the search, hindered by poor water visibility.
  • The local high school is providing support to students and families affected by the tragedy.
