RODESSA, La. (AP) - Authorities say search crews have found the body of a 15-year-old boy in a northwest Louisiana lake, three days after the boat he was in overturned.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries spokesman Adam Einck says the body was found Tuesday.
He says three other teenage boys got to shore after their 12-foot boat capsized Saturday on Black Bayou Lake.
The dead boy’s name was not released, but he was from Rodessa, near the spot where the boat capsized.
Einck says a passerby on a nearby bridge saw the accident and called 911 about 7:15 p.m. Saturday. Crews from four agencies had been searching ever since.
Einck says investigators are working to learn what caused the accident. He says none of the boys was wearing a life vest.
