Staff Report

A 19-year-old man drowned last week at Lake Afton.

Authorities said Luis A. Sanchez, of Mexico, died last Wednesday after he chased a soccer ball into the lake. His body was found about 100 yards from the shore.

According to reports, Sanchez entered the water to retrieve a soccer ball, and ended up in deeper water when wind pushed the ball further from shore. Authorities said Sanchez knew how to swim, and it was unclear why he drowned.

Sanchez was on vacation and was visiting the lake with relatives.
