A teenage boy is believed to have drowned after jumping into a river to celebrate the world not coming to an end after the supposed day of Rapture failed to arrive。

　　Anthony Thompson from Kalamazoo, Michigan, leapt into the fast-flowing Kalamazoo River with a group of high-spirited friends yesterday evening to mark the passing of the so-called Armageddon, a highly publicized prediction。

　　But the celebrations soon turned to heartbreak as the 17-year-old, who could not swim, screamed for help as the strong current swept him away。

　　Jordan, 15, said he tried to grab hold of his friend, but the current separated them as Anthony was pulled downstream. Jordan yelled as he tried to swim to his friend. But the friends were unable to reach Anthony。

　　Emergency rescue workers rushed to the scene and searched from the site he jumped in to a mile west. Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller said the search ended around 9pm when it became too dark. Sheriff Fuller said: "We're looking for any possibility that he's alive."
