IONIA, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have identified a man who drowned at a quarry near the Little Cedar River in northern Iowa earlier this week.
Christopher Lee Balvanz, 18, of Hawkeye, drowned Wednesday at Chickasaw Park, which sits about two miles west of Ionia, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports.
Rescuers were called to the park Wednesday night for reports of a missing person. A dive team discovered Balvanz’s body around 3 p.m. Thursday.
The newspaper says Balvanz was born in Waterloo and was a senior at Sumner-Fredericksburg High School.
The investigation into Balvanz’s drowning continues.
