Port St Lucie, Fl- A teenager is dead after he drowned while fishing in the St. Lucie River Tuesday.
It happened under the Twin Bridges on SE Port St. Lucie Boulevard, east of SE Floresta Drive.
Here are the details from the Port St Lucie Police:
The preliminary investigation revealed that a 16 year old male was fishing under the bridge with two other juveniles. All three juveniles attempted to cross the perimeter of a patch of mangroves when the water became too deep for the 16 year old and he submerged under water and failed to resurface.
The PSLPD Marine Unit, Drone Unit, and Criminal Investigations Division along with the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office Air Unit and Dive Team have been relentlessly conducting search and rescue efforts.
Unfortunately, the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team recovered the juvenile’s body submerged under the bridge.
Although no foul play is suspected, the investigation remains active.
Our sincerest condolences go out to the family and friends of the young man who lost his life.
