A 26-year-old Detroit man is dead after drowning at Cass Lake in Keego Harbor, Michigan, on Sunday, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
The county's search and rescue team responded to the lake around 4:15 p.m. after a 911 call.
The man was on a boat with four other people, the sheriff's office said in a written release. The boat had been trolling over a sandbar, but it later moved to deeper water.
"The man was apparently unaware the boat had moved and entered the lake, where it was 55 feet deep, and he lost contact with the boat," the sheriff's office said.
Officials say the man didn't know how to swim.
One of the man's friends on the boat jumped in to help him, according to the sheriff's office. The man was allegedly panicking, and his friend couldn't keep him above the surface.
The sheriff's office says "conflicting information" about where the man went into the water "hampered" the rescue attempt.
Rescue personnel eventually found the man and began CPR on him once he was taken out of the water.
The man was taken to the hospital where he later died.

Russian strike on Ukraine's capital kills 5, with more possibly trapped under damaged Kyiv apartment building
Kyiv, Ukraine - A Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital overnight killed at least five people and injured others, according to Ukraine's emergency services. Emergency crews were still working Monday morning to rescue people they believed to be trapped under the debris of one partially collapsed apartment building in Kyiv. Elsewhere in Ukraine, another person was killed and eight injured in the city of Bila Tserkva, around 53 miles southwest of the capital. The strikes came nearly a week after a combined Russian attack on Ukraine last Tuesday killed 28 people in Kyiv, 23 of them in a residential building that collapsed after sustaining a direct hit by a missile. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called that attack one of the biggest bombardments of the war, now in its fourth year. Firefighters continue a search and rescue operation in Kyiv, Ukraine, June 23, 2025, after at least five people were killed in a Russian strike that hit an apartment building. State Emergency Service of Ukraine/Anadolu/Getty In the early hours of Monday, drones and missiles hit residential areas, hospitals and sports infrastructure in numerous districts across Kyiv, emergency services said, with the most severe damage occurring in the Shevchenkivskyi district, where one section of a five-story apartment building collapsed. Five people were confirmed dead in the attack on the building while 10 others, including a pregnant woman, had been rescued from a nearby high-rise that also sustained heavy damage in the blast. Dozens of vehicles, some burned out and others mangled by flying debris from the blast, formed a snarl in the courtyard in front of the building, which had collapsed down to the second floor. Onlookers, some wrapped in blankets, watched tearfully as the cleanup operation took place. Dozens of volunteers worked to remove broken glass, downed tree branches and other debris. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko told reporters from the scene that "we very much hope that the death toll will not increase," but that rescue workers were still searching the collapsed building for further casualties. President Trump is last known to have spoken with Russian leader Vladimir Putin several days before Moscow's previous major attack on Kyiv. After that June 14 call, Mr. Trump said he and Putin had spent most of their time discussing the ongoing Israeli strikes on Iran, and "much less time was spent talking about Russia/Ukraine, but that will be for next week." That was before the U.S. joined Israel in attacking Iran's nuclear sites over the weekend — a decision by Mr. Trump that the Kremlin said on Monday it "strongly condemns" and considers "irresponsible." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that Putin had no plans to speak again with Mr. Trump in the wake of the U.S. strikes on Iran - a country that Moscow has increasingly aligned with in recent years – "but if necessary, such contacts can now be organized quite quickly."

Free State man charged with murder after wife's body found in bathtub
A Free State man was arrested after his wife was found murdered in their bathtub in Riverside, Phuthaditjhaba. The incident occurred on Thursday, 20 June, at about 16:00. The 41-year-old woman's son found her body after he noticed signs of 'a violent altercation' last Thursday. According to police spokesperson, Captain Loraine Earle, the 45-year-old man is expected to appear in the Phuthaditjhaba Magistrate's Court on Monday on a charge of murder. 'Police were alerted to a possible murder, and upon arrival, were met by the deceased's son, who led officers to the bathroom where the woman's lifeless body was found in a bathtub,' said Earle. She said the victim had a visible deep open wound to the head. 'The son, who does not reside at the home, stated that he had come to visit his mother and, upon finding the house locked, forced entry through the kitchen door.' Inside, he discovered signs of a violent altercation, including a broken mirror, bloodstains on the walls and running water from the bathroom. He alerted a neighbour, who contacted the police. The victim's husband, who was not at the scene, later contacted police and disclosed his location. He was arrested shortly afterwards. The alleged murder weapon was recovered and has been confiscated, Earle said.

New York's Prisons Were in Crisis. Did Hochul Do Enough to Fix Them?
In response to crises inside New York State's prisons, Gov. Kathy Hochul said this winter that swift action in Albany would hold corrections officers accountable and keep inmates safer. In the legislative session that ended Wednesday, the governor directed $400 million to increase camera coverage in prisons. She replaced the head of the prison where an inmate had been savagely beaten to death and ordered reviews of 'safety gaps' in several lockups and assessments of their operating cultures. But she has not committed to signing a package of bills meant to increase prison oversight that originated with reform-minded lawmakers. Criminal justice advocates and some legislators were also left disappointed that she has not championed measures that would increase the chances for inmates to gain early release and make it easier to discipline officers. They accuse Ms. Hochul of prioritizing expedient and incremental policies to court moderate voters as she gears up for re-election next year. 'As public servants, we have to lead with a great deal of courage and moral clarity,' Emily Gallagher, a Democratic assemblywoman who represents parts of North Brooklyn, said of the governor. 'There is a tension between good policy that protects all residents of New York State,' added Ms. Gallagher, who has been endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America and supported the prison bills. 'And the fear of this right-wing political moment that we're in.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
