Deceased Diver Identified

A diver who drowned while cleaning a retention pond on New Albany Road Tuesday has been identified as 23-year-old Kevin Harris of Michigan. Police say his death was accidental. Harris was working for Chicago-based U.S. Aqua Vac Incorporated, which has had two workers die on the job in the last five years. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration says the other diver died performing similar work in 2009.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
