ORCHARD LAKE VILLAGE, Mich. – A 30-year-old man from Warren drowned in Orchard Lake shortly after he jumped from a pontoon boat Sunday, Oct. 1.
According to authorities, Luay Bahjat Hana Jr. jumped into the water to swim just before 7 p.m. and began to struggle. A 46-year-old Ferndale man who was on the boat with him threw him a life jacket and jumped in, but Hana reportedly went under before he could reach him.
Responding law enforcement later found Hana’s body about 300 feet from shore.
