Vermont State Police say a young girl’s body was recovered from the Lamoille River near Arrowhead Mountain Lake in Georgia on Thursday evening. The recovery occurred around 5:40 p.m., following reports that the girl had fallen into the water the previous night. Her body has been sent to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
According to the report, the girl’s relative jumped into the river in an attempt to rescue her but has not been located. Search efforts for the missing man continued until approximately 7 p.m. on Thursday and are set to resume on Friday morning, July 3.
Emergency crews, including the Vermont State Police Underwater Recovery Team and Game Wardens from the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, have been involved in the search operation. Conditions have been challenging due to rising water levels and strong currents following recent thunderstorms.
Vermont State Police will provide further updates as the situation develops.
