Authorities have reconnected with the children of an Indian-American couple who perished in a frozen lake.

It was already too late when someone found cell service up the hill and the first responders came with their meagre cold water rescue equipment, according to ABC15.com.

Haritha was extricated from the sea by rescuers, but she was later declared dead. The following day, the two men were located.

The orphaned daughters, ages 7 and 12, had to be taken into custody by the Arizona Department of Child Safety on Monday, who had to go to Forest Lakes.

You never become accustomed to it. Particularly when you're working with kids, according to Coconino County Sheriff's Office deputy Jon Paxton (CCSO).

We wished to provide them the best sense of security. He continued, "We did our best to keep them comfortable and away from the scene.

Six parents and five children from three families travelled from the valley to the mountains on December 26 to enjoy the snowy weather.

According to Paxton, "(They) wanted to take some shots out on the ice."

Three persons fell through the ice while being photographed there and into the negative 30-degree water.

Deputies stationed at a substation nearby were alerted to the lake after two men and a woman were seen walking on it, according to a statement issued by CCSO officials.

According to the article, the neighbourhood is mourning and uniting to help the two families who were shattered by an anticipated catastrophe.

He is a very caring and pleasant person. He has a very good heart. Kishore Pittala, Narayana's neighbour and close friend, remarked, "He loved his kids."

He said to ABC15 that the Muddana family had just invited his family to Woods Canyon Lake.

He sent me the link on Sunday night. Hey, we're going to this area, would you like to come along? 

No, I was already exhausted," I said. However, the story also stated that two additional families joined the Muddanas in celebrating Haritha's birthday.

As you are aware, two families were affected by the visit of a total of 11, according to Venkat Kommineni, president of the Arizona Telugu Association.

Along with their friend Gokul, who had a wife and one daughter left behind, the parents, Narayana Rao and Haritha, all went into the chilly water.

Kishore admitted, "I was shocked. "I don't comprehend. Did this actually occur for a split second?" Venkat expressed amazement at the number of people who had tried to assist the girls directly to ABC15.

"I believe five people contacted me asking if these children were available for adoption."

In order to protect their life, we would like to. For the affected families, a Go Fund Me campaign has raised more than $500,000.

Venkat stated that the funds would be used in the children's names for their education, future, and other needs.

East of Payson, in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, is where you'll find Woods Canyon Lake. Hikers, fisherman, and other outdoor enthusiasts frequent the region frequently.
