HILLSVILLE, Pa. (AP) A man from Boardman, Ohio, is dead following an accident in a Lawrence County quarry.
The Lawrence County coroner says 59-year-old Richard Raeburn was testing his new water depth finder in a quarry when he fell into the water and drowned.
Searchers found Raeburn's body floating in the Mahoning Township quarry last night.
The coroner says it's likely that Raeburn dropped his water depth finder in the water and he drowned while trying to retrieve it.
