Man Feared Drowned Near Site Of Baptisms
RIO VISTA (CBS13) ―
Rescuers have called off the search for a 22-year-old man feared drowned in the San Joaquin Delta.
The Hispanic man disappeared under the water late Sunday afternoon near the Brannan Island State Recreation Area, northeast of the San Francisco Bay, according to Coast Guard officials.
Investigators had originally thought the man had disappeared while being baptized in the water, but it turns out he was just swimming in the area near the baptism.
A Sacramento County Drowning Accident Rescue Team (DART) joined the underwater search for the missing man, whose identity has not been released.
Officials called off the search Sunday night.
