A 3-year-old boy from Tuscumbia is dead after drowning at Lake of the Ozarks.

The highway patrol says it happened around 12:30 Sunday afternoon at the 4.8 mile mark of the Grand Glaize Arm when the youngster entered the water from the back of an anchored boat and failed to resurface.

Online reports indicate that the boy apparently removed a life jacket before going into the water and, according to the highway patrol, his body has been recovered.

The highway patrol also says that the next of kin has been notified.
