OAKFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A 62-year-old Greenville man is believed to have drowned at Wabasis Lake in Oakfield Township Sunday afternoon.
According to a press release from the Kent County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to Wabasis Lake just before 6:30 p.m. Sunday for a man who went underwater and did not resurface.
