North Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The Clark County Coroner's Office said a father and his son accidentally drowned last month.

37-year-old Pablo Hernandez and 2-year-old Angel Gabriel drowned in early July. They were residents of North Las Vegas.

The coroner has ruled their cause of death as accidental drowning.

The incident happened in Six Mile Cove near Cottonwood Cove on Lake Mohave. Authorities believe the two victims fell off a raft, and were not wearing life jackets.

Swimmers spotted the pair in the water and pulled them out. Their CPR efforts were unsuccessful.
