The U.S. Coast Guard has concluded its search for a 13-year-old boy who disappeared Saturday while swimming off the coast of Corolla beach in North Carolina.
“(Currituck County officials) will continue doing shoreline searches with their lifeguards,” said Ryan Noel, a spokesperson for the Coast Guard. “They have actually shifted to recovery mode and are no longer requesting assistance from the Coast Guard.” Noel said the Coast Guard responded to a call at about 12:57 p.
m. The missing boy was reportedly swimming in close proximity to other people, but was pulled under the water due to strong rip currents. The coast guard’s search was called off at about 4 p.
