Missing boater search in Lake Erie halted off Painesville, Ohio
Authorities have suspended the search for a missing boater in Lake Erie after rescuing two others and pulling another person from the water who later died.
The U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes station said a distress call was received just after 10:30 a.m. July 6, which authorities said directed them to an area off a Painesville, Ohio, communications tower. A helicopter was launched from the Coast Guard air station in Detroit and a boat crew from the Cleveland harbor headed out to search, but an hour later the helicopter was diverted to a separate rescue in the lake off Ashtabula.
