The question as to how he got into water or whether he was left unattended by parents or other senior family members still remains unclear.

The community couldn’t find Darshan in the first search because of the murky water.

The Kharel family then called 911 when all the efforts to find his whereabouts failed. Later, Police used a special device to trace the dead body from the pool, according to a report.

His dead body has been kept in the University Medical Center for further investigation.

According to the latest report, the cremation will take place on August 4 at 10 am local time.

The Kharel family, which originally came from Chirang Bhutan, was resettled in AZ from Beldangi-II refugee camp in east Nepal.

His parents, grandma and one elder brother survived him, informed DB Adhikari from Tucson.
