The Tampa Bay Times reports that 16-year-old Terry Marshall died Saturday at a Gainesville hospital.
A day earlier, Marshall and his friends visited Blue Springs Park in Gilchrist County, located about 30 miles northwest of Gainesville. Marshall's mother told the newspaper that the teen jumped into the water at one point and didn't come back up.
A medical examiner has listed the preliminary cause of death as drowning.
