SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say an 18-year-old man has drowned after apparently hitting his head on a rock or a tree while jumping into the Pacolet River.
The Spartanburg County Coroner’s Office said divers found William Seay’s body around 7 p.m. Wednesday, about two hours after he went under after diving into the river.
Witnesses told investigators that a small group of teens was swinging and diving into the river just before Seay disappeared.
An autopsy on Seay has been ordered.
