RIDGEWAY, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina high school student has died after a swimming trip, authorities said.
Armando Cervantes Estrada, 18, died Tuesday at Prisma Health Richland, the Kershaw County Coroner’s Office said.
Estrada was with friends swimming out from Buck Hill Landing at Lake Wateree on Monday when he went under the water, WIS-TV reported. His friends pulled him from the water and brought him back to the shore, authorities said.
Another person fishing nearby started CPR until an ambulance arrived.
The coroner’s office said an autopsy was scheduled Wednesday for Estrada, a student at Lugoff-Elgin High School.
