A TEENAGER who had been ticked off by a friend for pretending to be drowning while swimming in Sentosa, later died when he actually got into trouble.
By this time, his friends' attention had been turned to another member of the group who was also fighting to stay afloat.
On Thursday, State Coroner Victor Yeo returned a verdict of misadventure into the death of Tay Demin who drowned in the sea off Siloso Beach on June 25.
