He couldn’t swim.
But that didn’t stop Victor Frasno from
trying to cross a reservoir to ‘get to God’ moments before the first
earthquakes of ‘Judgement Day’ were supposed to strike.
The
25-year-old from Florida, who had been staying with family in
California, eventually drowned in the 80-acre reservoir in Contra Loma
Regional Park, Antioch on Friday night, investigators said.
Frasno, who was described by investigators as very religious, had also
tried to pull his older brother into the water after saying he had been
‘chosen’.
The 27-year-old, who has not been identified, managed to wriggle free before scrambling up the bank to get help.
He last saw Frasno thrashing about while quoting from the Bible.
Authorities
pulled Frasno’s body out of the lake just before midnight on Friday.
Judgement Day was pegged for the next day based on a prediction by
Oakland-based evangelist Harold Camping and his Family Radio group.
