SHARJAH // Two men drowned in separate incidents on Friday.
In the first case, a 25-year-old Afghani drowned in Al Khan. The second fatality took place in a pool in Al Siouh.
In both cases, the men had died by the time police arrived, Al Ittihad, the Arabic language sister paper of The National reported.
Both bodies have undergone autopsies to determine the cause of death.
Earlier this month, police issued a warning to beachgoers to stay safe while swimming in open water.
As part of the campaign, police are also posting advice and messages on their social media sites. Warnings will also be posted on signs along beaches.

Florida: The critical Sunshine State
Though mostly conservative, Florida is usually always “close” in presidential elections. In most elections, the candidate that wins the Sunshine State almost always wins the election, as evidenced in 2016 when Trump took Florida, a state which has not had a democratic governor since 1991.
Joe Biden’s campaign has spent $100 million there to turn things around, understandable given the state’s crucial 29 electoral votes.
In 2016, Mr Trump’s democratic rival Hillary Clinton paid frequent visits to Florida though analysts concluded that she failed to appeal towards middle-class voters, whom Barack Obama won over in the previous election.
