For four days, water rescuers have been searching Creek Falls, which is a popular swimming area in Westmoreland County.

According to the family, Knopsnider went swimming with three friends Tuesday evening. When he tried to help his girlfriend get out of the water, he slipped, hit his head on a rock, fell back into the water and disappeared.

Knopsider's body was found Sunday morning at Jacobs Creek.
