A 19 year old West Virginia youth, formerly of Myersville, died Tuesday afternoon after entering the Potomac River across from the boat ramp.

Despite attempts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at Washington County Hospital morgue. An autopsy will be performed to determine cause of death. This marks the second Potomac drowning this week following John David Roulette, 26, of Hagerstown, who drowned Sunday while fishing from a bridge pier.
