One student Tray L Hutto 19 Windfall Indiana drowned after diving in and another Richard Chabot Jr. 21 suffered a heart attack amid the rescue attempt. Firemen saved five other students but Chabot was not revived. Police said the fast current hampered recovery efforts as authorities feared the missing student was swept away. The incident sparked a tense search with local authorities and military connections noting the victims paddled into the river during the game.
