BAINBRIDGE, Ohio -- Rescue authorities in central Ohio have recovered the body of a man who went into a creek during a fishing trip with his son for Father's Day.
The Ross County Sheriff's Office says the body of 29-year-old Michael Green was recovered early Saturday morning from Paint Creek, located about 70 miles south of Columbus.
WBNS-TV reports Green was fishing with his 6-year-old son and friends when he waded out into the creek to check some lines. Police say he was not wearing a lifejacket.
The station reports Green traveled too far from shore, and the weight of his clothing pulled him into the water. Witnesses attempted unsuccessfully to rescue Green.
