Two 18-year-old men seen jumping off cliffs near Silver Bay, Minn., drowned Sunday, authorities said.
The teens were identified Monday as Austin Henning, of South St. Paul, and Maximillion Williams, of Inver Grove Heights.
Henning and Williams were seen struggling to swim after jumping into Lake Superior near Black Beach about 1:25 p.m., the Lake County Sheriff's Office said.
Lake County Search & Rescue, with assistance from St. Louis County Rescue Squad, responded to the scene. The U.S. Coast Guard sent a boat from its Bayfield, Wis., station and a helicopter to help search for the young men.
The body of the first victim was pulled from the water about 6:10 p.m. and the second was found about 90 minutes later, the Sheriff's Office said.
