Search called off in possible Grand Lake drowning 

CELINA, Ohio — Authorities in Celina said they have called a search after they recieved a call about a possible drowning at Grand Lake St. Marys Wednesday afternoon.

Investigators said they were not sure if anyone was in the water, but they received a call that someone possibly saw a child go into the lake. 

Dive teams assembled near the lighthouse and searched part of the lake. However, they said nothing was found and have called off the search. 

The original emergency came in at 3:48 p.m. and crews were on the scene until 5:12 p.m. 

“Video recordings from a nearby security camera had background views of the area,” said Celina Police Chief Dave Slusser, “and revealed that no one matching the description given was in the area before or after the emergency calls were placed to central dispatch.” 

Slusser said that once those recordings were obtained and reviewed, emergency responders were released from the scene. 

To insure that no one was in danger, emergency responders checked the shoreline, both in and out of the water, for signs of a victim of any type.  They found nothing suspicious, noted the Chief.
