Medical Examiner IDs Teen Who Drowned In Eagan Lake
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Officials say a teenager who was pulled unresponsive from a lake in Eagan Thursday is dead.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirmed the teen's death and identified him as 13-year-old Jeylon Holloway. The examiner's report states Holloway died at a hospital early Friday morning of freshwater drowning.
Eagan police were called to the 3000 block of Eagandale Place near Lemay Lake around 1:30 p.m. Thursday on a report of a missing boy. They found a shoe near the water and suspected he may have fallen into open water near a drainage culvert.
The Dakota County Sheriff's Dive Team responded, finding Holloway unresponsive underwater. Medics performed lifesaving measures before he was taken to the hospital.
A GoFundMe has been created for Holloway's family.
