Dickinson State University in North Dakota mourned three of their students who were found dead in a pond. Kyrstin Gemar, 22, of San Diego; Afton Williamson, 20, of Lake Elsinore, Calif.; and Ashley Neufeld, 21, of Brandon, Manitoba were on a stargazing trip riding a Jeep when this awful accident happened. Their bodies were found Tuesday night, but they had been missing since Sunday.

The detectives said no foul play is suspected, but autopsies will be gathered to know the cause of death. Whether their vehicle is faulty or the students had been drinking is still being investigated. The three women made a last phone call for help; saying near them is a lake. Signals gotten from that call narrowed the search area, helping authorities locate the car.

It was on Tuesday afternoon that searchers saw trails of the vehicle leading to the waters. After that, planes were sent to see the vehicle’s exact location. It was two hours later that it was pulled out of the water. By then, it was too late.

The three students were all softball players from their college, with a bright future ahead of them. Their family and friends, together with the whole school, will have a prayer service to remember each one of them.
