A 6 year-old boy who was involved in a drowning accident in New Brighton on Wednesday has died, police said.
Kyarke Lah, of St. Paul, was pulled out of Long Lake by lifeguards at about 2:30 p.m., said Holli Drinkwine, spokeswoman for the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.
Ramsey County Sheriff's Water Patrol and Allina Paramedics began administering CPR to Kyarke, but the boy was unresponsive, police said.
