The 42-year-old man had attempted to rescue his 14-year-old son around 1:10 p.m. Saturday, May 25, just before witnesses lost sight of them both, the county sheriff's office said.

The bodies are both being transported to the Office of the Medical Examiner in Richmond for examination.
The victims were from out of state, and their names are being withheld, pending notification of next of kin. The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office does not suspect any type of foul play.
