Mother describes losing 3 sons in frozen pond: "I couldn't help them"
A mother’s rescue attempt failed as her three sons aged 6 to 9 drowned in an icy pond during a massive winter storm that caused over 40 deaths in the region, officials said.
- Near Bonham, Texas, Cheyenne Hangaman said three brothers—EJ Doss, 9, Kaleb Doss, 8, and Howard Doss, 6—died after falling through a frozen pond Monday, despite her warnings.
- According to investigators, Hangaman said her youngest son tried to `ice skate` on the frozen pond and fell through, and his two older brothers jumped in after she warned them.
- In a frantic rescue attempt, Hangaman said, `I tried to pick one up and put them on the ice`, and a neighbor threw a rope to pull her while first responders pulled the two older boys and the youngest was recovered after an extensive search.
- Counselors will be available for students and staff as Bonham Independent School District canceled classes Monday; the family GoFundMe supports funeral costs while the Fannin County Sheriff's Office investigates.
- Amid the massive winter storm, three brothers died Monday after falling into a pond about 100 feet from the house in a rural community of about 10,000 people, and Hangaman, a mother of six, hopes the tragedy warns other parents.
