The body of an Iredell County teen reported missing was found Wednesday in Lake Norman waters, authorities said.
Angel Carabello, 14, died by accidental drowning with no foul play found, Dara St. John, Iredell County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman, said.
The report has not been released as the case is still under investigation.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Angel’s family during this time,” Iredell County sheriff said in a Facebook post.
Carabello’s father, Misael, said he last saw on Wednesday, July 9 when the teen entered the lake on a raft while he was renovating the lakeside house, Charlotte Observer’s news partner WSOC-TV reported.

Multiple search units were sent out to the area and Carabello’s body was recovered by a remotely operated vehicle.
