An 18-year-old drowned at a golf course in Lakeville this morning, the Fire Department said.

Lakeville firefighter John Pytel said the drowning occurred at about 10:20 a.m. at the Back Nine Club.

He said the teenager, who he did not identify, was pulled from the water along with what appeared to be a large, industrial golf course mower. The victim was a groundskeeper at the club, Pytel said.

He referred further questions to the State Police, who referred a reporter to the Plymouth district attorney's office. A spokeswoman for the office could not immediately be reached.

One of the club's owners, David Waxler, also declined to identify the teen but said in an e-mail that he was a member of the club's grounds crew for a couple of years.

He said he was operating a riding mower at the time of the accident. No one witnessed the accident, Waxler said, and the circumstances are unclear.

He said the teen was a "fine young man" and that his death was "terrible and tragic."

Yes, that is tragic. Any death is, and the circumstances surrounding this one may never be known.
One more tragedy that may lead to another rule taking work away from our teenagers. That would be even more tragic.
