LONG LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a 19-year-old has died while searching for rocks in the water with a friend at Grand Traverse County's Twin Lakes Park.

The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports Danny Doherty was an avid angler and swimmer who regularly spent time at the park in Long Lake Township. Authorities say the recent graduate of Traverse City West Senior High School apparently drowned Wednesday afternoon.

A friend found Doherty unresponsive in the water and dragged him to shore.

Rescuers performed CPR before an ambulance arrived, and he was pronounced dead at an area hospital.
