CONFLUENCE, Pa.,None — Rescue crews have recovered the body of a man who was among four people who were thrown from a boat into Youghiogheny River Lake near Confluence over the holiday weekend.
Scott Grahn, an instructor and trainer with the state Fish and Boat Commission, said searchers found the body of Patrick Himmler, 50, of Cumblerland, Md., at about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday near the dam.
Himmler's body was found about 100 yards from where the boat is believed to have flipped over on Saturday afternoon while making a fast turn.
Commission spokesman Eric Levis said Himmler's sister and two juveniles were also on the boat. Authorities have said they were treated for injuries.
Investigators said Himmler was driving the boat too fast. The accident remains under investigation.
