Search To Resume for Drowned Boy's Body

By Tom Murray and Jay Sorgi

Searchers continue to look for the body of Darieus Nelson.

Nelson, 14, drowned in Browns Lake in Racine County on Tuesday.

Today, crews hope to get back on the water to find the boy after poor conditions on the lake forced them to call off their search.

Family members say they were shocked when they found out he went missing Tuesday afternoon, claiming they did not know he went boating with a summer camp program.

"He was swimming or something and he's gone," a fisherman who saw Darieus struggling said in a 911 call. "The guy that I'm holding onto right now tried to save him."

Nelson's family told TODAY'S TMJ4 the adult who tried to pull the boy from the water never had permission to bring him to Browns Lake in the first place.
