PAGE, Ariz. (AP) -- A young Seattle man is presumed dead after falling overboard while boating with two others at Lake Powell.
The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area says in a statement that Luke Rogers had been standing on the bow seat of a powerboat Saturday afternoon, holding onto the bow line, when the operator slowed the boat and Rogers was tossed into the water.
It says the boat operator stopped the boat after hearing a thud, and then unsuccessfully circled the area in search of the 19-year-old Rogers.
Several agencies, said the park service, were assisting Monday in the search to locate and recover Rogers' body.
