Authorities have found the body of a 12-year-old boy from Georgia who drowned in a lake while trying to help a younger child in distress in the water.
The boy, identified as Traetorin Mitchell, was at Lake Sinclair with his family Sunday when he noticed a younger child struggling to stay afloat in the water, according to the
Associated Press.
The child, who was unidentified, was wearing a life jacket but having trouble swimming back to the bank, the
Macon Telegraphreported.
Traetorin dove into the lake and pushed the child to shore, but then went underwater and never came back up for air, officials said.
