TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, Ohio — Authorities are still searching for a man whose safety is in question after his young son was found dead in Atwood Lake on Saturday.

The Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Office says the incident began around 10:30 a.m. when a woman and her three children crashed a golf cart into the lake near Atwood Marina West.

Around 6 p.m., divers found the boy’s body at the bottom
