Lake Incidents Leave One Injured, One Dead

Weekend incidents at two northern Indiana lakes left a 14-year-old girl injured and a 20-year-old man dead. Yesterday, Christopher Miller of Etna Green was swimming at Yellow Creek Lake Camp in southwestern Kosciusko County. After Miller’s fellow swimmers noticed he was missing, they searched and found him unconscious in the water. Bystanders, police and paramedics performed C-P-R but they were unable to save Miller’s life. According to a news release from the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, Miller might have been under water for as long as 15 minutes. On Lake Maxinkuckee near the Marshall County town of Culver, a boat ran into a 14-year-old girl, cutting her lower back and both of her feet. Conservation officers say the girl had just fallen off an inner tube that another boat was towing and the operator of the second boat didn’t see her in the water.
