SEARCH FOR MAN UNDERWAY IN DEERFIELD BEACH LAKE

(Deerfield Beach, FL) – Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue crews, BSO divers and BSO Air Rescue searched a Deerfield Beach lake late into the evening Thursday after a man swimming failed to surface. At 6:05 p.m., one of two men who were swimming in the lake came out and told people at a nearby gas station that the man he was swimming with went under. Within minutes, first-arriving firefighters were in the water conducting surface rescue efforts. Divers continued to search the lake, located on the northwest corner of Sample and Powerline roads. As of 9:30 p.m., the victim had not yet been located. Photo: Mike Jachles/Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue
