Officials say 10 people were swimming in a waterfall pool more than two miles up the trail. Deb Nordeen of the National Park Service says the victim was trying to rescue another swimmer in the rain-swollen stream when he drowned. She says his body was submerged for an hour and located by a diver in a spot where the water was 17 feet deep.
Pike county Coroner Kevin Stroyan says it appears to have been "a tragic accident."
