The body of a Calhoun teenager who went missing Friday was found this morning in the Oostaunala River.
A search boat located 16-year-old Francisco “Paco” Vasquez’s body about 200 yards from where he was last scene by his friends, said Calhoun Police Department Lt. Tony Pyle.
The body was pulled from the water and his family was immediately notified, Lt. Pyle said.
Police believe Francisco drowned after trying to save a friend who was struggling in the river on Friday, the lieutenant said. His friend made it back to shore, but Francisco never resurfaced.
