According to information provided to Turmush by the Internal Affairs Department of the Jalal-Abad region, on November 19 at around 21:00, a report of an accident was received at the police station in the city of Kara-Kul. A 54-year-old man named E.U. fell into the Naryn River when a rock fell on him from a steep slope while he was fishing.
The incident was registered, and a preliminary investigation was initiated by the police department in Kara-Kul. At the same time, search operations were organized to find E.U.
As a result of the search efforts, which continued until November 23, at around 14:50, the body of the 54-year-old man was discovered in the Naryn River, approximately 1.933 kilometers downstream from the accident site.

Turmush previously reported that the tragedy occurred in the Jalal-Abad region of Kyrgyzstan. The man went fishing in the Naryn River, near the Toktogul hydroelectric cascade. On November 20, it became known that the 54-year-old fisherman had fallen into the river. His body was found three days after the incident. More than 100 people participated in the search. Preliminary data indicates a rockfall in the area of the slope, which prevented the man from reacting quickly and avoiding falling into the water.
