“However, to everyone’s surprise, the man suddenly regained consciousness. It was soon revealed that he was not dead, but heavily intoxicated. He explained to the police that he had been working in a granite quarry for the past ten days, enduring 12-hour shifts. Exhausted from his grueling schedule, he had decided to take a dip in the pond to cool off, only to fall asleep in the water,” he added.
