LAKE WYLIE, S.C. — A water rescue turned into a recovery effort on Lake Wylie after a 16-year-old went into the water. The York County Sheriff's Office said he jumped into the water from a catwalk under the bridge and never came up.
The sheriff's office later offered condolences to the victim's family. They shared the update on social media shortly after 8 p.m., adding that the county coroner's office is now assisting in the investigation.
Officials confirmed the catwalk is closed to the public, and several no-trespassing signs were posted.
WCNC Charlotte viewer Mike McFeeters shared a photo of the scene, showing an ambulance and fire truck present on the bridge. A WCNC Charlotte photojournalist noted emergency crews had limited driving access on the bridge for residents to get to their homes.
On Saturday, the York County Coroner's Office named the victim as Yanni Harvell of Clover. The office confirmed Harvell's body was recovered from the water by dive teams and pronounced dead at the scene.
