Rochester, N.Y. (AP) - Two brothers from Rochester who died while boating on Lake Ontario are being laid to rest.

Local media outlets report that 27-year-old Chantha Nhong and 28-year-old Keo Nhong will be buried Saturday afternoon at a Rochester cemetery.

The brothers drowned Tuesday while boating and tubing with four children on Irondequoit Bay.

Police say Keo was tubing with two of the children, including Chantha's 8-year-old son, when they tumbled into the take. Chantha jumped out of the boat to help but both men drowned. Officials say neither man was wearing a life jacket.

The brothers were among eight siblings in a family that came to the Unites States from Cambodia in 1984.

Chantha's survivors include his fiance and three children.
