The California
Highway Patrol told the newspaper that Austin Harr was with
friends at a pond in the Oroville Wildlife Area on Monday
evening when he slipped under the water.
After a few minutes passed, his friends grew worried and tried
looking for him before calling for help, the newspaper said.
Rescue workers found him about an hour later, and he was
pronounced dead at a local hospital, the Times said. Officials
told the newspaper they believed alcohol played a role in his
death.
