The local community is deeply shocked by the news of Coach Bąk's death. A former player for Soła Kobiernice, Bąk was known for coaching both youth and senior teams and worked daily at the Jaworze Municipal Office.
His body was found in the Kamieniczanka stream in Bielsko-Biała. Normally, the water level there does not exceed 30 cm, but recent flooding turned it into a fast-flowing river.
An autopsy confirmed that he drowned, with the local prosecutor's spokesperson, Paweł Nikiel, stating that his death was an accident.
A respected figure in the sports community, Bąk was last associated with GKS Czarni Jaworze and had previously worked with local clubs such as KS Międzyrzecze, Koszarawy Żywiec, Zapory Wapienica, and Sokola Zabrzeg.
"He was well-known and respected by many residents of Jaworze for his great passion for sports and dedication to the local community. His passion and commitment will always be remembered," read a social media tribute confirming his death.
Details about the funeral will be announced via the Facebook profile of the municipal office where Bąk worked. The farewell ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, September 19, in Bielsko-Biała.
