Evan Forbes, 16, died Thursday afternoon when divers pulled him from the water after he had jumped in the lake from a boat, according to the York County sheriff<\/a> and the county coroner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emergency crews went to the scene on the western side of the lake near Little Allison Creek around 2 p.m. after Forbes jumped in the water but did not resurface, the sheriff\u2019s office said. The office posted that about an hour later, emergency divers had found him and administered CPR, but he died.<\/p>\n

The coroner\u2019s office is investigating the death as a \u201cwater-related fatality\u201d but has not yet released a cause of death.<\/p>\n

Forbes was not wearing a life jacket, said Trent Faris, spokesman for the sheriff\u2019s office. The sheriff\u2019s office is urging people who use the water this summer to be safe during recreation and wear a life jacket when in the water. On boats, there must be a life jacket for each person on board, Faris said.<\/p>\n
