First responders were dispatched to the 4000 block of Duck Pond Court at 5:02 p.m. after reports of three children in the icy water. Emergency crews performed life-saving measures on Na’Yomi at the scene before transporting her to a local hospital. Despite their efforts, she succumbed to her injuries on Sunday, Jan. 19.
The condition of the other two children remains unknown.
The Winston-Salem Fire Department expressed their condolences to the family in a statement, emphasizing the dangers of frozen bodies of water.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the family during this incredibly difficult time,” the department said. “We strongly urge residents to stay off frozen ponds, lakes, and streams. Ice in our area is unpredictable and cannot safely support the weight of people or pets. What may appear to be solid ice can quickly give way, resulting in life-threatening injuries.”
Our prayers go out to Na’Yomi Nadine’s family and the friends who loved her.
