LAKE OZARK, Mo. (AP) – A Missouri man has drowned in the Lake of the Ozarks – the state’s second fatal drowning over the past weekend.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says 21-year-old Sean Jouglard of Waterloo was swimming in the lake Sunday afternoon when he drowned. The patrol says Jouglard was in a boat when he jumped into the water to swim, but did not resurface. He was pronounced dead just before 3 p.m. Sunday. Investigators say he was not wearing a life jacket.
On Friday, a 6-year-old Kansas City boy drowned in the Elk River. The patrol says the boy waded out into the water and was not wearing a safety floatation device. The boy’s name has not been released.
