Water Rescue Turns Deadly
Blair County officials confirmed a man who went underwater and prompted a search has been found dead.
Deputy Coroner Brian Reidy said the body of Chad Skinner, 23, of Williamsburg was recovered just before 6:00 p.m. Sunday, about three hours after crews from Blair and Cambria County were called to the eastern shore of Canoe Creek Lake to search for him after he went under and did not resurface.
Dive teams from at least Cambria and Huntingdon counties have been called in to help with the search.
Officials say Geeseytown Fire Company Rescue Team has search boats in water.

The city of New Holstein will keep its police department. Mayor Jeff Hebl had recommended merging the department with the Calumet County Sheriff’s Department to save one-million dollars over the next five years. Former Chief Brian Reedy resigned following the recommendation last year. This week, the New Holstein City Council voted to retain the department and to begin the process of hiring a new chief.
