Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating the death of a juvenile whose body was recovered from the swimming lake at France Park.
About 5:45 p.m. Saturday, Indiana Conservation Officers Central Dispatch received a report from Cass County Central Dispatch regarding a missing swimmer in the France Park area. According to initial information, 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 the individuals 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 transported to Logansport Memorial Hospital, where they were pronounced deceased.
The cause of death is pending autopsy results. This incident is still under investigation.
Agencies assisting in the response included the Cass County Sheriff’s Office, Cass County EMS, Logansport Fire Department, District 1 Fire Department, Monticello Fire Department, Cass County EMA, Cass County Coroner’s Office, Indiana Department of Child Services, and Cass County Central Dispatch.
