 Divers found the bodies of two men who had been missing since their boat capsized on Pymatuning Lake last week.

Richard Kinnan, 21, and Jay Raubenstrach, 22, both of Meadville, had been missing since April 16.

Pymatuning State Park officials began searching for the men on Tuesday, a day after someone reported that the two had not returned from an outing.

Park officials said the murky 40-degree water made for a difficult search.
