BLAIRS, Va. (AP) - Authorities in Virginia say they’ve recovered the body of one man and are looking for another after a boat capsized in a pond outside Danville.
The Danville Register & Bee reports that the boat capsized in a pond on Sunday near the town of Blairs.
Eric Dotterer, a conservation police officer with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, told the newspaper that the victims were Danville residents.
One man was in his 70s and the other was in his 50s. Neither has been identified.
Dotterer added that neither man was wearing a life jacket and that none were found at the scene. State law requires life jackets on boats.
“We will not stop until we’re able to recover that individual,” Dotterer said Monday.
The pond is about 20 feet deep and larger than an acre.
