## Resource

A tragic drowning claimed the life of 19-year-old Robert Batchelder in the Merrimack River yesterday, despite a frantic rescue effort involving multiple agencies. Swimming with a coworker, he went under and couldn’t be reached in time, even as bystanders and emergency crews from Boscawen and Concord searched for over an hour. Authorities say the incident is not suspicious, but details are still under investigation. Anyone with information is urged to contact Trooper First Class Christopher Prenaveau.
