The yeshiva bachur who was buried on Wednesday night was identified as 19-year-old Meir Zamir, a resident of Yerushalayim.

Police and volunteers searched for him on Wednesday for two-hours until his lifeless body was discovered. Authorities emphasize that Lake Kinneret at times is dangerous and deceptive, and proper precautions must be taken.

A number of yeshiva students were enjoying a day off � but the day ended in tragedy with the death of Meir Z�L.

The levaya began at Yeshiva Kisei Rachamim in Bnei Brak where he learned, traveling to Yerushalayim for interment in Har Menuchos.
