CHALLIS, Idaho (AP) — Authorities say a 7-year-old boy from Moore died while swimming with relatives at a hot springs resort in Challis.

The Custer County Sheriff Department identified the boy Tuesday as Jaxon Angell.

Investigators say the boy was swimming with his grandmother, aunt and two siblings at Challis Hot Springs, a resort that dates back to the 1800s. Relatives say the boy went missing, then was later discovered at the bottom of the pool.

Officials say a preliminary autopsy shows the boy drowned.
