Lynn Teen Drowned In Walden Pond Reservoir Identified

SAUGUS (CBS) --  Investigators have released the name of the Lynn teen who died in an apparent drowning in the Walden Pond Reservoir on Sunday.

Police responded to Lynn Woods Reservation Sunday afternoon after a caller reported that a boy swimming with two friends in the reservoir was having difficulty swimming.

Emergency crews pulled 13-year-old Jose Angel Capellan Rodriguez out of the water. He was taken to Lynn Union Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Neighbors told WBZ-TV that illegal swimming is a constant problem, and they have been warning visitors not to go in for years.

Investigators say no foul play is suspected.
