Body found in St. Croix River ID’ed as missing teen who fell into the water in April
A body recovered Friday from the St. Croix River near Taylors Falls, Minn., has been identified as missing teen D’Andrea Sanvig.
On April 11, the 18-year-old from Luck, Wis., apparently lost his footing and fell from a rock ledge into the swollen and swiftly moving river at Interstate State Park.
An extensive rescue effort involving multiple agencies and spanning several days followed but turned up no sign of Sanvig.
On Friday morning, people canoeing reported a body floating in the water not far from where Sanvig fell.
The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office classified his death as a drowning.
“Over the past month, extensive efforts have been put forth in an attempt to locate D’Andrea,” the Chisago County sheriff’s office said in a press release. “We are grateful his family is able to move towards closure from this situation.”
