ST. CLOUD, Fla. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC) is assisting the Osceola County Sheriff's Office with the search for a missing person at St. Cloud Lakefront Park.

There was a heavy law enforcement presence at the scene Sunday night. St. Could police officers and Osceola County sheriff's deputies were there.

The FWC said that seven people went out on a boat to enjoy a Sunday evening on the lake and decided to take a swim. One man jumped in the water, struggled and disappeared underwater. The people onboard tried to save him but couldn't and called 911.
