WALWORTH COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Emergency officials say the body of the 14-year-old boy has been found. The boy's identity will be released on Monday.
According to officials the boy was last seen around 3 p.m. and wasn't found until shortly after 8 p.m.
The Walworth County Sheriff says the boy's immediate family was there which helped with the search efforts. Staff at Camp Timber-lee believe the child may be a nearby resident. There are about a dozen homes near the lake whose residents use the water for recreation. There was no campers at the camp because no camp is currently in session.
According to the Sheriff, weeds in the lake made the search difficult, "The lake depth is probably around ten feet and the weeds about five feet so I'm giving you a visual of the challenge we have for the search."
