Summary at a Glance

Body of missing duck hunter who died trying to save brother found in California lake after two-week search Andruw Cornett went missing with his brother Wesley on December 14.

“The search will continue by air, but the use of drones in the search area prevents our pilots from flying,” a Butte County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said in a statement.

Police have discovered the body of 19-year-old Andruw Cornett, who dove into a California reservoir to save his 17-year-old brother while duck hunting last month.

The pilot who spotted Andruw’s body as part of the search mission had to land shortly afterward due to drone activity in the area.

“At this point in the recovery, we have exhausted efforts with divers and sonar technology and will shift the focus to a continuous limited search,” a spokesperson for the office said at the time.
