NC: Officials identify teen who died after falling into Trent River
Via Charlie
Authorities have released the name of the 15-year-old boy who fell from a boat into the Trent River Monday afternoon.
o the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, New Bern High School freshman Tanner Webb was the teen who fell from a 21-foot boat into the Trent River. It happened near Gull Pointe in River Bend before 4:30 p.m. Monday, the Coast Guard said.
Teams using sonar found the 15-year-old's body in the Trent River near River Bend at about 12:55 p.m. Tuesday, said Brandon Lyon of N.C. Wildlife. The body was discovered not far from where the teen fell after search crews made a second pass in the area.
“There wasn't a lot of current so we didn't think the body would move that far. That's what led us to continue to search that area,” said N.C. Wildlife Officer Kyle Van Althuise.
The body was then taken to a hospital.
