Summer water dangers prompt warnings from two park incidents
In Maryland two near drownings highlight water risk. At Cunningham Falls near Thurmont a 12-year-old who could not swim died after slipping from a rock into 20 feet of water, his 15-year-old brother and a 16-year-old friend also died trying to help. At Greenbrier State Park lifeguard Carey Smariga saved a 2-year-old from drowning using CPR. Officials urge respect for water amid heat and widespread swimming.
