Teen Drowns in Central Texas Swimming Hole

Investigators say a teenager has died after he went under at an Austin-area swimming hole that's part of a nature preserve.

The Travis County Sheriff's Office on Monday identified the victim as 17-year-old Anthony Dorsett of Harker Heights. A medical examiner has determined the drowning was an accident.

Deputies on Friday were dispatched to the Hamilton Pool in Dripping Springs on a report of a missing swimmer. People at the scene located Dorsett and began CPR.

Dorsett was transported to an Austin hospital, where he died on Saturday.
