A Cuban teenager allegedly dies by drowning.

The death of a Cuban teenager, only 16 years old, supposedly drowned, has generated consternation on social media, where several acquaintances of the minor and his family have shown deep sadness about the tragedy.

So far, there is little information surrounding the event. The minor was a native of Villa Clara and has been identified as Eblys Malagón Díaz.

The independent media Cubans around the World asserted -quoting its own sources- that the child drowned in a reservoir during a camping trip.

Almost 24 hours after receiving the sad news of your death, it still seems unreal to me. You didn't deserve to die. You are just a child of only 16 years old, a brilliant child in every sense of the word. I don't know what God was so busy with when he let go of your hand and let you die," wrote Yerisley Ríos Guevara from the USA, who showed consternation over the tragedy.

I can't help but wonder what will become of your family's life, especially your parents without you, when you were everything to them," added the Cuban woman in a heartfelt post that has been shared multiple times, generating numerous messages of pain and condolences.

How much I wish I could be with you right now! I just want to tell you to stay strong to keep moving forward, your son will be in the best place in heaven. Rest in peace. Eblys Malagón, you will be one more star," Ríos Guevara concluded.

Family members and friends have turned to social networks to bid farewell to the child.

In many comments, the deceased teenager has been described as a "wonderful" and "exceptional" child.

Until the closing, there are no other details about the sad event, which unfortunately is not the first of its kind in recent months.

In mid-May, two young people drowned at Sardinero Beach in Santiago de Cuba, when a group of nine people, including three minors, were swimming at that dangerous stretch of coast where swimming is officially prohibited.

The first young woman who died was identified as Rachel Mora Torres, 20 years old and a resident of Mangos de Baraguá, as confirmed in that case on social media by Aris Arias Batalla, the provincial manager of Aquatic Safety, Operations, and Relief for the Red Cross.

The other deceased was Yasel Alberto Bicet, also 20 years old and a resident of the Abel Santamaría neighborhood, who remained missing for several hours, but his body was later found.

A month earlier, in mid-April, two Cuban teenagers aged 14 and 16 drowned while fishing in a river in a rural community in the Vertientes municipality, in Camagüey. In this case, the tragic accident occurred in the small village of Concordia, located near the sugar mill Batalla de las Guásimas.
