(Sunday, May 14) A teenager from Brazil died late Sunday morning after a boating accident at a Bradford County lake.
Investigators say the 16 year old went out in a canoe onto Lake Ondawa in Springfield Township by himself without a life preserver.
The canoe did have a boat cushion flotation device.
It tipped over twice.
He was able to get back in the first time, but couldn`t the second, and drowned as he swam to shore.
Dive teams later recovered his body.
The teenager was from Brazil and was at the lake as part of a youth fellowship group.
