TEXAS TOWNSHIP (WKZO-AM) — A boy from Three Rivers is dead after drowning in Crooked Lake over the Independence Day weekend.
Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said Carvell Johnson, 6, was pulled from about three feet of water late Sunday afternoon.
“At this point, we really don’t know exactly what was going on,” Matyas said. “There appeared to be some kind of gathering or party that was going on. It was pretty typical of what was going on at all the lakes in Kalamazoo County at the time.”
Efforts to revive Johnson were already underway when sheriff’s deputies and members of the Texas Township Fire Department arrived at the scene.
Johnson was pronounced dead after he was taken to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo.
The incident remains under investigation.
