The other day, Boatos.org debunked a story related to a video that showed that four people had died due to lightning in a swimming pool in Barra da Tijuca, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. The same video is circulating with force on the internet along with another story. According to messages that are going viral on the internet, five people had died in the accident. This time, it is said that the cause was different: it is of the pool's underwater lighting which had a short circuit. Read the message that is circulating with the video, which will not be shown here: _It is timely to disclose… The video shows a swimming pool, which has lighting underwater. There was a short circuit and five deaths. Lifeguard entered and died also. The idea is to be careful to use a swimming pool with lighting. underwater. We don't know about maintenance, and the risk of shock exists._ _SOBRASA says that the brighter and more beautiful the pool, the more dangerous it can be be, if the appropriate maintenance of the lighting system is not carried out underwater. Summer has arrived and many of us use swimming pools with our families. Promote it in condominiums and clubs._ ## Five people died after being shocked by underwater lighting pool? There has been no shortage of alarmist messages talking about the subject. There's only one detail: this is the second time that the video in question is accompanied by wrong information. It is a fact that the video shows people in a swimming pool getting shocked. The case occurred (as shown in this text) in the city of Neiva (in Colombia). However, the real information stops there. According to this article on the website A Semana, it is not yet completely clarified the causes of the accident. It is a fact that the problem may have been caused by a short circuit in pool systems. You just can't necessarily Address a problem in the lighting system. In reality, there are some systems that use electricity in a pool. It could be the system of suction pumps, filters, heating and of lighting. In other words: just because it has light bulbs does not mean it can represent a danger. Now, another central point: it is false that five people died as a result of electric shock in question. In reality, the accident ended with four injured. The children were unconscious in the pool, but are doing well. In short: once again, the video in question is permeated with misinformation. It is not even certain that the cause was electrical lighting systems. Nor did the accident leave fatal victims. This is yet another fake news that circulates online.
