MARTIN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- Authorities say a 14-year-old boy has drowned while swimming at a lake in southwestern Michigan.
The Allegan County sheriff's department says Montrel Alonzo Jeffries of Shelbyville was swimming in the lake Friday in Martin Township when he went under about 30 yards from shore. He was swimming with other boys at the time.
Divers found the boy. He was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The death was under investigation, but authorities say it appeared to be an accidental drowning.
The lake is located about 35 miles south of Grand Rapids.
