In a tragic boating incident off the central California coast, a 13-year-old boy was the sole survivor after a vessel capsized, claiming the life of his father and four other relatives. The young survivor, Juladi “Jude” Khammoungkhoune, was crabbing near Bodega Bay with his family on the evening of November 2nd when their boat encountered severe conditions and overturned.
In a desperate bid for survival amidst the turmoil, Jude's father, Prasong, instructed him to seek refuge inside a cooler present on the boat. Prasong clung to the cooler to keep his son afloat but ultimately had to release his hold, allowing Jude to drift to safety alone.
