ANDOVER, OHIO — Rescue teams continue to search for a man who went missing Saturday while on a camping trip at Pymatuning State Park.
Investigators said Lawrence Page, 48, of Homewood, is presumed to have drowned after jumping from a pontoon boat on Pymatuning Lake Saturday evening.
Page’s girlfriend, Debbie Jackson, said he never resurfaced from the water after trying to help a woman who had fallen off the edge of the boat.
Crews said they will continue their search efforts until Page’s body is recovered.
Jackson said the group of people on the boat tried to reach him by throwing a life vest into the water, but he was pulled underwater by a current. They did manage to rescue the woman Page was trying to reach by pulling her onto the boat with a net, Jackson said.
Page was a father of five and a grandfather of three.
