4-year-old Shimon Weiss obm, who drowned in a swimming pool in Swan Lake on Sunday evening, has passed away, YWN News reports.
Dov Gefen – Yeshiva World News
As YWN had reported, Catskills Hatzolah was called at around 6:45PM to the KMS Bungalow Colony on Mount Hope Road.
Paramedics were called, and after extensive resuscitation efforts on the child for more than 30 minutes, Paramedics stated that they had a pulse back on the child, and were requesting that the child be airlifted to Westchester Medical center.
Tehillim was recited around the clock, but tragically, at around 6:30 Monday morning, Shimon Weiss was Niftar, with his family around the bed.
Bikur Cholim of Rockland is a working with the Westchester Medican Examiner to expedite the release of the Niftar.
Levaya details will be published when they become available.
The family are residents of Boro Park (Father is R’ Aviezer).

Yes all of us must ensure the pool area is secured. But more than that, we MUST insist that every pool has a self closing and locking gate. If anyone complains that it’s too expensive, remi d them that no amount of money can compensate for the loss of a child’s life R”L
Condolences to all the family.
So so sad!Imoshiach now!!!
When visiting Swan Lake- to be sure about water safety.
It’s so sad for the parents and it could happen to any of us. Hashem decides our nisyonus.
I personally spoke with one of the relatives of the boy who told me that THE POOL GATE WAS LEFT OPEN after the supervised swimming hours were over. The child apparently wandered in there and went/fell in.
Lifeguards and all adults should be extremely vigilant about closing and locking the pool area after using it, to prevent such tragic thing from happening.
Heartbreaking
Never actually been to a bungalow colony. But is it possible to install pool barriers/fencing around pools like many have around their home swimming pools?
Please please hav security for these little kids, i always see so many little frummer kids running erywhere and no one watching, especially in Monsey, its so dangrous to have little children without any superviaion. im not judging these people, just saying rhere has o be more security and safety around pools.
Oh vay no, where is Moshiach.
You’re 100% right and that’s the only way I can make sense of this tragedy! Thank you!
It’s is still all hashgocha whatever happens. It doesn’t mean it’s not terrible and not understandable. But we must still understand we don’t see the full picture but must understand its not a hefker world and Hashem runs the world.
:'(
All you say is very good bitochon and emunah for ones self. However the same torah tells us to feel that it is terrible and not understandable how it can happen to someone else.
It’s the will of Hashem. We are all gilgulim. This neshoma only needed this amount of time in this world to finish his tikun. Was a very special neshoma. There are so many bal shem tov stories explaining cases like this.
We need Moshiach! BDE
Thinking about his family. Mashiach now
This news is like a knife in the heart terrible.May God give the family the strength and peace that they need and May we all be reunited God willing with the coming of MOSHIACH speedily and our days
Very sorry. As a former rebbe I urge all parents/caregivers out there to have eyes in the back of your heads!!
it takes seconds for such a thing to happen and even the worlds greatest parents are human too. so stop.
pathetic how every time theres a tragedy ppl point fingers. G-ds will will prevail over the most vigilant parent’s guard.
lets just pray that he recovers now.
Please don’t blame anyone. Drowning is so quick. A person who is really drowning does not even look in distress; they can look like they are treading water, with head tilted back, eyes open, no noise or thrashing – as if they are just enjoying themselves – and they are seconds from unconsciousness already. In the stage when there is thrashing, most people misinterpret it as ‘play’. We all need to vigilant about our own, and others, children in pools. But just to face a sobering statistic; MOST child drownings occur in sight of their parents who believe they are… Read more »
How many times does this have to happen until parents take a different perspective on this! Dont ask me what, but isn’t it just one too many, again!?
We all think it won’t happen to us c”v, it just doesn’t seem to penetrate;
Hashem yerachem and let Him watch over all the little children worldwide, especially near, and in, pools:(
Besuirois toivois for the little child and his parents
I was at the ohel on the way out when I glanced at collive. It was 8pm soon after it was posted. I gave the name to someone going in to the rebbe. He should have a refuah shlaima
not judging, however, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???!
please Hashem let the boy live, he is only a kid and got his whole life in front of him
Shimon ben Leah Malka Esther.
Enough! Please let this boy be saved! And send us mashiach now!!!
Be Well soon
parents be strong
my prayers for you
My daughter, a pediatrician in Staten Island Hospital, warned us that boys from the age of one and a half to four have no sight depth. When water is in front of them, they do not recognize it as such, it looks the same as the pavement to them; they are therefore in grave danger around a pool or lake. Please, please take extra care with these little boys, they are Rachmonoh litzlon, the usual victims.
As an active lifeguard I always urge parents to keep an eye on the younger children. It only takes a second of taking ur eye off the kid that Chas V’shalom something can happed…
May be have a speedy recovery!
…before leaving the bungalow
Please!!!! Please!!!!
