HILLIARD, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say the body has been
found of a kayaker who disappeared in a central Ohio lake while trying
to rescue a dog.
The office of Franklin County Sheriff Zach Scott
says the body of 21-year-old Kyle Miller was found in Darby Bend Lakes
in the Prairie Oaks Metro Park in Hilliard during a second day of search
efforts Sunday.
Miller and 19-year-old Austin Gifford had been
kayaking at the park Saturday when they entered the frigid water to try
to save the dog.
Gifford tried to rescue Miller before witnesses
pulled him from the water. He had been taken to a hospital, treated and
sent home.
The dog did not survive.
