Search efforts resumed Sunday to recover the body of an 11-year-old boy who likely drowned while swimming a day earlier in a southern Minnesota river.
Denis Funez, of nearby Madelia, had been swimming with friends in the Blue Earth River at Rapidan County Park just before 6 p.m. Saturday, when he was pulled into deeper water by the current, according to the Blue Earth County Sheriff's Office.
The park is located about 10 miles southwest of Mankato.
