Clark County Sheriff Paul Gaudette has ruled the drowning of a 16-year-old boy as an accidental death.

The incident happened Saturday night when Michael Lee Hobb of rural Canton was swimming with two of his brothers at a farm pond near their home. Authorities say the teen went under and didn't resurface.
