KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 17-year-old Raymore teen died last weekend after drowning in Blue Springs Lake.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says a Good Samaritan was on the water around 7:15 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6, about half a mile south of the Blue Springs Marina on Blue Springs Lake when they spotted a person in the water.

The victim was located near a personal watercraft. He was transported to Centerpoint Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.

Troopers believe the victim was ejected from the watercraft.
