FERRYSBURG, Mich. — The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office says a 16-year-old died Wednesday evening after a water emergency in Ferrysburg.
Deputies responded to North Beach Park just before 8 p.m.
They say the Norton Shores teenager was with a church group, when water conditions pushed several teens out of the swim area.
Deputies say the 16-year-old was swept away and he started to struggle.
Witnesses tried to reach the boy, but they couldn't get to him before he went under.
The sheriff's office says first responders did find the teen in the water, but lifesaving measures were not successful.
