Authorities are investigating the apparent drowning of an 18-year-old Medford man at Upper Mystic Lake.
The Middlesex District Attorney’s office said state, Medford, and Tufts University police responded just after 8 p.m. on Monday to the area near the Tufts Sailing Pavilion on the lake for a report of a possible drowning. State police divers were deployed to search for the missing swimmer, and he was found in about 20 feet of water.
First responders began life-saving efforts at the scene, and the 18-year-old was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was pronounced dead around 10 p.m., according to the DA’s office.
