The local fire department pulled a male teenager out of the flood swollen Mill Creek in Middletown Township. The individual was kayaking with another male teenage when he fell out of the kayak. The victim was pulled from the creek but later died at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. A law enforcement official indicated that the creek's high and fast moving water likely contributed to the victims death.
