STATTS MILL, W.Va. (AP) — Searchers have recovered the body of a Georgia teenager who apparently drowned while swimming in a Jackson County lake.
Jackson County Emergency Services Director Walter Smittle says the teenager was swimming with a group of boys Wednesday at O'Brien Lake in Staats Mill when he went under water and didn't resurface. The teenager's companions called 911.
Jackson County sheriff's Chief Deputy B.W. Dewees identified the victim as 16-year-old Brandon Banda of Lawrenceville, Ga.
