Five-Year Old Boy Found In Quemahoning Dam

Somerset County —

A five-year old boy's body was pulled from the Quemahoning Dam in Somerset County late Thursday afternoon, only about 100 yards from where his family members were camping.

Jerome Fire Chief Nick Panasci said the boy was last seen by family members around two in the afternoon. A search of the area ended with the discovery of the child in the water.

The boy was taken to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center where efforts to revive him failed shortly before 9 pm Thursday. Police are investigating how the boy drowned.
