With cabin fever setting in there's no better place to

go on a beautiful day than the park here at

Falls Lake

With everything going on it's even more popular because people

are allowed to walk but you're not allowed to do

much

But this scenic place turned tragic for several teenagers after

their friend went missing in the lake Wednesday

When anybody loses their life especially someone just going out

some friends and I just just passing away you know

he came up and then went on again and you

know that point One of his friends thought he might

have been some issues

Divers were hampered by storms Wednesday night but sheriff's investigators

searched by boat and dive teams returned to the water

Thursday morning

If you're going to go swimming in the pool in

the world you have to be careful

Make sure that someone that couldn't possibly be there to

help if something happens

Despite the stay at home order the sheriff doesn't believe

the small gathering of teens violated the rules as you

are allowed to be outside

But he says all young people need to know the

rules and follow them with the dollar world

What they are I don't need to get with their

parents and someone who can help them understand what they

can and can't do

And swimming right now may not be the best choice

It's still too early in the year

Cold water hypothermia

It's not a good idea but you remember what we

understand are doing very well in school had a bright

future ahead of him
