At the first part of the clip, they were at the top of the bridge ready to plunge into the water. After diving one after the other, the kid who drowned can be seen in doubt and didn't jumped at all.
However, when his friends swam at the side of the river, he cannot resist the urge and eventually dived in. But the moment his body touches the water, he immediately submerged to the bottom of the river.
What's shocking was when his friends didn't even bother to look for him after seeing his not visible anymore.
The video has now gone viral hours after being posted gaining 300,000 views from furious netizens.
One user even confirmed that the body of the boy was found later that afternoon.
