    BRAXTON COUNTY, WV (WOWK) — A search is underway for a 25-year-old man from Charleston officials believe drowned in Sutton Lake Monday morning, according to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.

    They say the man was on a rental boat with friends and family when one of the children had a problem with their floating device.

    Officials say the man jumped in the water to help the child. He got the kid to safety, but he slipped below the water.

    The West Virginia DNR’s dive team is searching for the man. As of Tuesday morning, he has not been found, according to the DNR.
