The identities of three Minnesotans who died in water-related accidents have been released.

The boy who drowned Saturday in Roseville's Lake Josephine, was identified as Anthony Yang, 16, Twin Cities media outlets reported Sunday night.

The 16-year-old was swimming there about 7 p.m. when he went under. A friend alerted lifeguards, who pulled him from the lake and administered CPR until paramedics arrived.

The teen was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where he died.

A body recovered Saturday from Lake Mille Lacs is that of Mike Hedin, a Maple Grove man last seen in October when he went fishing on the lake, said Mille Lacs County Sheriff Brent Lindgren. A family member also confirmed his identity but declined to comment further.

Hedin, 59, had set off from Cash's Landing on the southern end of the lake a few days before Halloween and was not seen again.

His boat washed ashore on the north end of the lake, where it was discovered last fall by a passerby. The boat was upright and contained a life jacket, tackle box, rod and reel and other personal effects when it was found.

Searches for Hedin last fall turned up nothing and were called off when the lake froze over.

Hedin's body was found in a part of the lake near Garrison, Lindgren said.

In another incident on the water, Jose Sanchez, 33, of St. Paul, drowned Thursday in Missouri.

Sanchez was with his family at the Port of Kimberling Swimming Beach on Table Rock Lake in Kimberling City when he went underwater about 1:30 p.m. and did not resurface, according to the Missouri State Water Patrol.

Sanchez was taking an inner tube to his 5-year-old son, who had been struggling in the water, when he drowned. After putting his son in the tube, Sanchez yelled for help. His 8-year-old daughter tried to reach him with a flotation device called a Noodle, but Sanchez disappeared before she could get it to him, the Water Patrol said.

His body was recovered about 40 minutes later in 8 feet of water.
