Honduran authorities have confirmed that four of the five people who drowned in an Ohio river over the weekend are Honduran citizens. A consular affairs director told reporters Tuesday that they were two married couples. Honduran authorities are working with U.S. authorities to bring their bodies home. One of the couples left behind two children, who were also at the river. The fifth adult's identity has not been released. Once all the victims have been identified by U.S. officials, the Honduran government will start the repatriation process. That process could take at least a month.

Vietnamese police have detained the captain of a speedboat that capsized off southern Vietnam, killing 15 Indian tourists. The boat was carrying 32 Indian tourists and four Vietnamese crew members when it overturned Saturday near Phu Quoc island. The captain is under investigation for alleged violations of waterway safety regulations. Sixteen survivors have been discharged from the hospital and are returning to India, while one remains in critical condition. The victims were on a company trip organized by Lava International. Rough seas hampered rescue efforts, with nearby boats rushing to help but arriving too late.

Three people died and seven others were rescued after a boat capsized on a Wisconsin lake during a strong storm. Many injuries were reported Friday in Wisconsin’s Walworth County as the storm toppled trees, knocked down power lines, and damaged buildings. Police are investigating the capsizing on Lake Geneva. The mayor declared an emergency and noted power outages and minor injuries. County authorities received 911 calls reporting damage and people trapped in buildings. The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the area, forecasting heavy rain and lingering showers into Independence Day.

France recorded its hottest day ever as an early heat wave gripped Europe. The high temperatures on Tuesday prompted the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre museum to restrict visiting hours. They also disrupted school and transportation schedules in multiple countries. The punishing conditions extended to the United Kingdom and Spain, where weather agencies issued alerts — like France — about the risks of extreme heat for tens of millions of people. France’s national thermal indicator — an average of temperatures measured at 30 weather stations — hit a record of 29.8 C (85.6 F). The conditions were likely to persist at least until the weekend.
