PEORIA, Ill. (AP) - The body of an 8-year-old boy who was on a boat with his grandfather and uncle when it went over a spillway was recovered Thursday from a creek, authorities said.
The recovery came more than a week after the accident. Kalin Hunter was found below the 25-foot spillway and about 160 yards south of where the adults' bodies were found, said commander Duane Pitchford of the Illinois Conservation Police.
The bodies of Richard Hunter, 59, and his son, Jason Hunter Sr., 29, both of Normal, were found March 15, a day after their 17-foot aluminum fishing boat apparently ran out of gas during a rainstorm and was swept over a spillway.
