DERBY, Ind. (WISH) — After he was found hanging over a raft on Rainbow Lake, the Perry County Sheriff’s Office says that drowning is the cause of death for a male from Greencastle, Indiana.
Jason Briscoe was identified as the person who died on Rainbow Lake over the weekend.
Around 2:30 p.m. Saturday, deputies got a call saying “there was a male on a raft that may have been experiencing a medical emergency,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release Monday. That caller told dispatch that Briscoe was “hanging over the raft” and that his head was in the water.
At the scene, medics found Briscoe unresponsive. First aid was given, but the Perry County Corner ultimately declared Briscoe dead at the scene.
An autopsy on Sunday led to a preliminary report saying Briscoe died from drowning.
Perry County Sheriff’s Office says Briscoe’s death is still under investigation.
