Authorities will continue the search this morning for the body of a 19-year-old Australian woman who fell while water-skiing and was hit by a boat in Alum Creek Lake on Sunday.
Andrew Hollenback, region manager of the Division of Watercraft at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said the woman, identified as Morgan Montgomery was presumed dead.
The department was notified of the incident around 4 p.m. Divers searched the lake until almost 9:30 p.m. The search will resume at 8 a.m. today.
The boat’s driver was not identified, and ODNR officials did not release any statement he gave them.
He was cooperating with the investigation, they said.
Montgomery was staying with a church group camped at the Boy Scouts’ Camp Lazarus on Rt. 23, midway between Lewis Center and Delaware. The camp is sponsored by the Living Church of God, based in Charlotte, N.C. The camp, called Ohio Teen Camp, is one of several the church sponsors in the U.S., according to the church’s website.

Mr Moderator,
I'd like to withdraw my previous comment sent a few minutes ago about haters in the form of Opinionated 3:27pm and ask you not to post it. Thanks. Priam
a real tragedy and very sad. I can't help but wonder why the camp was called camp Lazarus?
Her body has now been reported recovered. Prayers here for her family and friends.

Is it true that more people have died at "Living" Church of God services and events than at all UCG, COGWA, PCG and RCG services and events combined?
