Officials have recovered the body of an 18-year-old swimmer who disappeared in an Ypsilanti Township lake.

Dive teams and first responders searched Tuesday evening for the young man, who was believed to be in the lake at Detroit Greenfield RV park in Ypsilanti.

Several agencies were on scene, including the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office and Ypsilanti Township Fire.

A witness who was in the water at the time, told us he spotted the young man in trouble. He tells 7 Action News a girl and boy, both believed to be teenagers, tried crossing the lake.

The girl made it back, the boy did not.

That led to a massive search.
