(Cass County, IN) - A juvenile drowned in a Cass County swimming lake over the weekend.

On Saturday evening conservation officers received a call about a missing swimmer near France Park west of Logansport. According to initial reports, a group had been swimming near a deeper section of the lake. Three individuals entered an area where they could no longer touch the bottom and began struggling to stay afloat. Bystanders assisted two of them back to shallower water, but one juvenile did not resurface.

A short time later, a recreational diver located the juvenile, unresponsive, in the water. Lifesaving measures were immediately initiated but were unsuccessful. The juvenile was pronounced dead at Logansport Memorial Hospital.

The incident is still under investigation.
