Search Continues for Missing Man in River Accident

Rescue teams are searching the Cuyahoga River near Gorge Metro Park for 27-year-old Patrick Cross, who went missing Saturday evening after an inflatable inner tube carrying him, his wife, and two sons capsized in hazardous river conditions. His 5-year-old son Braxton was found deceased Sunday morning, while his wife and younger son escaped safely. High water levels and swift currents from recent rainfall have made recovery operations challenging, with multiple agencies employing boats, drones, search dogs, and sonar equipment across several miles. Authorities have posted 'Do Not Enter' signs at river access points as a safety precaution. The tragedy has greatly impacted the Cuyahoga Falls community, prompting an outpouring of support for the Cross family. Additionally, dozens of people and dogs were rescued from similar river dangers in the area over the weekend.
