Divers find boy's body in Yough

PORT VUE — Divers have found the body a 13-year-old boy who disappeared while swimming in the Youghiogheny River.

Authorities say they found August Berg, of Versailles, shortly before midnight Sunday.

Berg had been swimming with an 11-year-old girl near Port Vue, about 15 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

A passing boat spotted the girl struggling in the water and pulled her aboard. She said Berg had gone under the waves, but didn't surface.
