CONNEAUT, Ohio — EDITOR'S NOTE: The video in the player above is from a previous, unrelated story.
The Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety confirms, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire lost one of its firefighters over the weekend.
38-year-old Lee Weber apparently died in Conneaut on Saturday, July 24. According to a GoFundMe account created by family members, Weber was out on Lake Erie with his family when the accident occurred. That GoFundMe account has raised more than $36,000.
The United States Coast Guard says they responded to a call reporting a man that had been seen swimming near the break wall at the Conneaut Township Park.
The caller reported seeing the man go under the water, and that they did not see him resurface. About an hour later, rescue units from the U.S. Coast Guard and Conneaut Police found Weber.
The NBC affiliate in Pittsburgh, WPXI, reports that Weber served as a Pittsburgh firefighter for just over five years. He was reportedly an Army veteran as well.
