Boy's body found near Illinois lake

Searchers found the body of a missing 8-year-old boy in water below a dam Tuesday, nearly a week after his grandfather's boat was swept over the spillway.

Kalin L. Hunter disappeared Wednesday when the 17-foot-aluminum fishing boat apparently ran out of gas on Clinton Lake. The bodies of his grandfather, Richard L. Hunter, 59, and uncle, Jason C. Hunter, 29, were found Thursday.

Rescuers used underwater cameras to locate the boy's body because the water was too rough for divers.

Chris McCloud, a spokesman for the Department of Natural Resources, said he did not know how long it would take for rescuers to remove the boy's body, saying turbulent water and debris hindered efforts.

Autopsies showed the boy's two relatives drowned, and officials said alcohol was not a factor.

Clinton Lake is a 5,000-acre reservoir in central Illinois.
