CROSBY, Minn. (AP) - Authorities say divers have recovered the body of a 13-year-old Minneapolis boy from a mine pit lake in the Crosby area.

A spokesman for the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office says the boy was playing Frisbee with his father Friday evening when the disc landed in the water. He was swept away by a strong current while trying to retrieve it.
