Holy Cross student missing in Connecticut after late-night canoe incident
A Holy Cross junior is still missing after a boat incident in Connecticut.
Around 9:50 p.m. on Saturday, a canoe capsized with two Holy Cross students in it near 155 Lake Shore Drive, according to WFSB .
Dominick Tocci, a junior political science major from Woodstock, Conn., remains missing. Another Holy Cross student was found and rescued.
Someone nearby heard people calling for help from the lake, Fox61 reported. The other student was brought to shore by a good Samaritan using a paddle boat. He was then taken to a local hospital, the news outlet reported.
Search efforts for Tocci have included "water-based searches, aerial surveillance and dive teams to thoroughly examine the area," the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) told Fox61.
Holy Cross, a Jesuit, liberal arts college in Worcester, confirmed it is in contact with local law enforcement in Connecticut as search efforts continue.
"The safety and well-being of our students is our highest priority, and our hearts and prayers are with the student's family, friends, and all members of our campus community during this time. Support from counselors and our college chaplains has been made available to any student, faculty, or staff member who may need it," the school wrote in a statement.
