A Rochester teenager died Sunday afternoon in an apparent drowning at Turning Point Park.
Police say they were called to the park on the Genesee River about 12:30 p.m. The RPD Scuba Squad and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Marine Unit searched for the teen near the boardwalk along the river banks and located him beneath the water after several hours. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Monroe County Medical Examiner.
Police say the teen jumped in the river for a swim and didn’t come back up.
