· Brian StahlProviding details about the victim of the drowning incident.

Emergency services were called to two potential drowning incidents Sunday afternoon. In one case, a father and two children capsized in a boat in Roskilde Fjord near Veddelev Harbor but managed to reach shore safely. The second incident occurred at Himmelsøen, where a lifeless man was found.

A rescue helicopter from the Danish Defense assisted in the operation, successfully retrieving the man and transporting him to the hospital. This tragedy echoes a similar incident at Himmelsøen last July, when a 17-year-old boy drowned. The lake is situated near the grounds of the Roskilde Festival, which was underway when last year's fatal accident occurred.

The man was declared dead upon arrival at Rigshospitalet on Sunday.
