One dead in possible drowning in Baldwin County
MAGNOLIA SPRINGS, Ala. (WALA) - A potential drowning off Fish River in Baldwin County has left one man dead.
Baldwin County Sheriffs responded to the scene around 3:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon when someone called 911. That man has not yet been identified.
In waters off Grounds Lane and Highway 98 in Magnolia Springs, investigators said a young man in his 20s potentially drowned near the Fish River bridge. Deputies on scene said helicopters whirred overhead searching, but it was divers who recovered the body.
