Darren Doyle, story:
A teenager was the victim of a drowning at Nolin Lake on Wednesday, according to Edmonson County Emergency Management.

According to Terry "Moose" Massey, Director of Edmonson County Emergency Management, emergency personnel responded to the area of a private dock on Nolin Lake at 310 Twin Oaks Drive, off Dickey's Mill Road on Wednesday, July 24th around 2PM to the report of a missing person.

Director Massey said a group of high school students from the Louisville area had gathered at the area for a birthday party for one of the students. One student with the group could not be located after it was discovered no one had seen him for about two hours.

Massey said Hart County Dive and Rescue were called in with sonar equipment to help locate the missing teen but multiple boats were unable to pick up any signal.

Additionally, drones and other boats were used to help locate the missing student along with multiple divers, agencies, and volunteers, searching both in the water and land.

A body was discovered under the dock, which was identified as the missing teen. The student was identified as Isaac Mwungura, (18) of Kenya, who was a student in Louisville. He was pronounced dead by the Edmonson County Coroner's Office.

Massey also reported that the victim's belongings were located on the dock and that it was likely he fell in. It is unclear what exactly happened but witnesses at the scene said the victim was not a strong swimmer, Massey said.

No foul play is suspected and an autopsy will be performed.

Also responding to the scene was the Lincoln VFD, along with KY Fish and Wildlife, Edmonson County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Hart County Dog Rescue, Edmonson County District 5 Constable, Hart County Emergency Management, Barren County Dive and Rescue, Edmonson County EMS, and other volunteers.
