WESTERVILLE (AP) — A 16-year-old boy has died after rescuers pulled him from Hoover Reservoir where he had been cliff jumping.
Authorities haven’t identified the teen, who died at a hospital after being pulled from the water on Saturday night.
The Genoa Township Police Department said in a Facebook post the teen was among a group cliff jumping and that he struggled in strong currents. Rescuers were called around 8:00 p.m. when the teen didn’t surface.
Dive teams from Genoa Township and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources found the teen.
