Man dies after getting entangled in milfoil
KENNEWICK -- A 22-year-old man died when he apparently became entangled in thick milfoil in the Columbia River in southeast Washington.
Police say the man was visiting the Tri-Cities area with three friends when they decided to go for a late-night swim Friday in the river near the Kennewick boat launch.
The man apparently was not a strong swimmer and got caught in a bed of milfoil -- an invasive weed that grows in many Washington rivers and lakes.
