FORT PAYNE, Ala. (AP) — Rescue crews have pulled the body of an 18-year-old from waters at the bottom of Little River Falls in Alabama.
The National Park Service said the teenager, identified as Michael Andrew McCollum, had been swimming with friends on the river above the waterfall around 5:20 p.m. Thursday.
His friends got off the river about 80 feet before the waterfall, but the park service says McCollum got caught up in a current and was seen going over the waterfall and never resurfaced. His body was recovered about 6:30 p.m.
