## Resource

A tragic drowning claimed the life of 19-year-old Keegan Elliott in the Meramec River near Castlewood State Park. His body was found Friday downstream from where he was last seen swimming — just hours after a witness spotted him in distress. The Missouri State Highway Patrol launched a search Wednesday night and continues to investigate the circumstances. This heartbreaking incident serves as a sobering reminder of water safety, even in seemingly calm areas. Our hearts go out to Keegan’s family during this devastating time.
