Franklin County, MO (AP) Authorities say two boys have died after plunging through a frozen pond near their home in eastern Missouri.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the 7- and 8-year-old boys were found Sunday in the private pond in Franklin County. The search began after the boys didn’t return from a bike ride. The patrol says a family member found one of them floating in the pond.

A diver then located the second child. They were pronounced dead several hours later. Their names weren’t immediately released.
