Kosciusko County officials currently are investigating the drowning death of two Warsaw teenagers. Kosciusko County Coroner Michael Wilson identified the victims as Korbin Foster and Kaleb Lampkin, both 17 and from Warsaw. Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department deputies and Dive Team members responded Saturday at 1:59 p.m. after receiving a 911 call of a possible drowning. Prior to arrival, officers were notified that one drowning victim had been pulled from a private pond at the location of 2028 S. Maple Run, Warsaw. Dive Team members arrived shortly and recovered the body of a second victim at the same pond. KCSD detectives stated that officers responded Saturday at 1:41 a.m. to the residence regarding two missing juveniles. At that time, deputies were advised that there had been a “sleep-over” of teenage boys celebrating the recent birthday of Lampkin at his residence. One of the teenagers at the party had been acting strange, at which point Multi-Township EMS responded to potential drug inducement and transported him to Kosciusko Community Hospital for treatment. During that initial investigation, officers searched the neighborhood area, but were later advised that the two missing teenagers, Foster and Lampkin, had possibly left the party and traveled into the city of Warsaw. Officials advise that the incident is still under investigation at this time. Also assisting the Kosciusko County Coroner and Sheriff’s Department were members of the Warsaw/Wayne Township Fire Territory and Indiana Conservation Officers from District 1 Headquarters. As of this morning, Public Information Officer Sgt. Chad Hill said there are not any new updates. In wake of the tragedy, guidance counselors and mental health therapists will be on staff at Warsaw Community High School today and throughout the week, according to a press release from Warsaw Community Schools.
