KANSAS CITY (AP) — Crews have pulled the body of a 5-year-old girl from a western Missouri lake, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.
The girl was with other people on a raft Saturday in Longview Lake at Lee’s Summit, 20 miles south of Kansas City, when she went into the water and did not resurface, officials said. She was not wearing a life jacket when she went into the water, authorities said.
Patrol Sgt. Bill Lowe said the group was in an area of the lake where swimming is not allowed.
The patrol said crews found the girl’s body around 10:30 p.m. Saturday. Her name had not been released by Monday morning. The patrol continues to investigate.
