Man Drowns Trying to Pull Boy, 9, From Icy Pennsylvania Stream

A man drowned while trying to save a 9-year-old boy from an icy northeastern Pennsylvania stream, firefighters said.

Scranton Fire Superintendent Pat DeSarno said a dive team recovered Robert Kehoe Jr.'s body from Roaring Brook at Nay Aug Park around 10 p.m. Sunday.

A hiker and two college students helped pull the boy to safety, said DeSarno.

Officials said the boy fell into the water as he walked with Kehoe and a younger boy around 4:30 p.m.
