Man dies while swimming in Grant Twp. pond

A 19-year-old Imlay City man died Saturday after failing to resurface while swimming across a pond in the Hewitt's Pit area of the Port Huron State Game Area.

Troopers responded to the report of a drowning about 6 p.m., Michigan State Police said in a social media post.

"Three friends were swimming across the pond when a 19 y/o Imlay City man began struggling and went under the water. His friends attempted to help and immediately called 911, but their efforts were unsuccessful," the post states.

The St. Clair County Dive Team responded and located the man but he did not survive.

Troopers were also assisted by the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office, Department of Natural Resources, Grant Township Fire Department, Kenockee Township Fire Department and Tri-Hospital EMS.
