Update- The body of the teen who dove into the water to rescue his brother has been recovered.... however, his brother's remains have still not been found.
Andruw and Wesley Cornett were duck hunting at the Afterbay in Butte County, California on December 14th when their kayak overturned. After not being able to locate Wesley, Andruw called 911 before diving into the waters to search for him brother. By the time first responders arrived their was no sign of either brother, sparking an extensive search effort.
On December 17th, it was announced that officials had switched priorities from rescue to recovery. Sadly, the body of 19-year-old Andruw was recovered on December 31st. He is pictured below on the right.
A sharp-eyed BSCO spotted Andruw's remains while flying in the area on the north side of the Afterbay around 9:30 a.m. Search and rescue crews immediately descended on the area and were able to recover the remains of this heroic older brother. Sadly, there is still no sign of Wesley, whom Andruw had initially entered the water to rescue.
Our thoughts are with their family as they cope with the loss of these two young men while moving ahead in this new year.
