Body of second teen found

READ MORE:

The search for a missing Columbus County teen is now over. Around noon Saturday, rescuers found the body of William Mills, the third teen who was thrown from a boat on Lake Waccamaw Wednesday.

The three East Columbus High students were in a paddle boat on the lake when high winds caused it to flip over.

Scott Collins survived by swimming back to shore using a make-shift life-preserver. But his friends Glen Marvin and William Mills could not survive the 47-degree water.

Marvin's body was found Thursday. Saturday around noon, sonar equipment and divers found the body of Mills about 300 yards away.

None of the teens was wearing a life jacket.
