A man from Beaver County died after drowning in the Connoquenessing Creek.
21-year-old Zaire Ellis of Aliquippa went swimming in the creek just over the Butler County line Thursday evening.
Officials say Ellis tried to swim across the creek and got swept under at a deep spot. His friends tried to jump in and save him.
Water rescue crews searched for Ellis until 2 a.m. Friday. His body was eventually found by crews Friday afternoon around 2:30 p.m.
