Doylestown Teen Dies After Boat Capsizes On Lake: Police

DOYLESTOWN, PA — An 18-year-old Doylestown resident and recent graduate of Central Bucks West was found dead Sunday when he was pulled from a lake nearly eight hours after a boat capsized, according to authorities.

Dominic Testani had been on a row boat on Lake Henry in rural Wayne County near Scranton with two other people when the boat overturned around 1:30 a.m., state police said. The others reached safety with the help of friends and first responders, but it took until after 9 a.m. for the Scott Township Dive Rescue Team to find Testani, according to police.

Testani, who graduated early in January and was preparing to enter the military, “was a beloved friend, teammate and classmate,” according to a message from the Central Bucks School District.

“The news of Domenic Testani’s death is devastating for our students, our staff, and our entire Central Bucks community,” the message said. “We share in the loss with his family and stand ready to support everyone affected by this tragedy.”

The district Crisis Response Team is preparing supports for Monday morning for students, parents and staff.
