Wednesday, June 20, 2018 04:57PM DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- A 911 call released Wednesday gives more insight into the moments before three people were pulled from a pool at a Durham apartment complex earlier this week.
The three people -- 15-year-old Abril Yuliana Flores-Ojeda, 16-year-old Brian Manuel Benites, and 21-year-old Luis Enrique Delgado-Romero -- all died at the hospital.
In the call, the caller told dispatchers that a man, who appeared to be in his 20s, had knocked on the door of the apartment where he was staying and said his friend was drowning at the pool.
The friend tried to explain to the caller where the pool was, but the caller said the man appeared to be too drunk to remember.

The pool is a nice one.
“Abril Yuliana Flores-Ojeda...Brian Manuel Benites... Luis Enrique Delgado-Romero”
You’d think they were used to swimming...and entering properties with “Closed” signs...
The “insight” is that they were all blind drunk and passed out and drowned.
I’ve gone swimming, in the ocean, while seeing double drunk but I know how to swim. Of course that was in my youth.
haha!! we get several deaths a year in our local river, always someone with a Spanish surname. If you could not swim at “home” you’re not going to be able to swim here, either.
Drunk ass idiots.
They didn’t belong there-——I can’t say that I’m too upset about this.

Of Durham North Carolina....got it.
A drunk 15 year old..?
Wow.
My old home town is lost.
My care meter is broken. Play stupid games, end up dead, Stupid.
Last year we had to pull a drunk rafter out of the water. He missed the get-out point, got out of his raft and was hanging on the side too drunk to kick his way to shore. I saw him let go and slip under the water so I jumped on my wave runner and motored out to him.
He was so drunk he couldn’t move his body and I couldn’t get him up on the back platform. I was holding him off the side trying to move to shore when he just let go and I lost grip. It was surreal as I watched his open eyes looking up at me as he slipped into the darkness of the river.
Just as that happened it was like a bolt of lightning hit him and he kicked his way to the surface where I was finally able to get him on the platform. This is a fairly swift but calm river so we were four or five hundred yards downstream by this point. I got him back to shore where he promptly passed out face down in about a foot of water and made no effort to get himself up.
His girlfriend came and got him and for some reason he took a swing at another man who was trying to help. Ended up being arrested by the Sheriff and it turns out the drunk man was a police officer for a local department. Heard his girlfriend dumped him, too.
Drunk and water don’t mix.
