Two Teens Drown in Pennsylvania Creek

Two teens have drowned in a western Pennsylvania creek.

State police say 15-year-old John Mast and 16-year-old Seth Byler died Sunday while wading in Little Neshannock Creek in Wilmington.

Investigators say the boys slipped under the surface around 3 p.m. after wading into a water-filled sinkhole about 8 to 10 feet deep.

Two family members tried to rescue them.

Mast and Byler's bodies were found about 15 feet from shore. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

Officials say there's no indication of foul play.
