A 16 year-old teenage boy has drowned in Richards Bay, North Coast of the province, while swimming with friends.

National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) in Richards Bay says it received a report of a local 16-year-old drowning at Pelican Island.

NSRI Richards Bay Station Commander Mike Patterson says a police boat and the sea rescue craft Grindrod Rescuer responded and joined lifeguards, who had initiated a search.

Patterson says a police scuba diver was deployed and during a scuba dive search, the body of the teenager was located and recovered from under the water.
