Hari Krishna, from Piridi village in Vizianagaram district, and his friends checked into a resort on Saturday. He later entered the river for a swim and got trapped in underwater weeds that caught his legs and pulled him down, officials said on Sunday. He struggled, went under and did not resurface. Crews from the Sullivan fire department later pulled out the body, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol.
