A 12-year-old boy from Sag Harbor died Wednesday during a school rafting trip in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains region, according to officials.

The student was participating in an annual class rafting excursion when the fatal incident occurred. Officials reported that the boy's raft capsized during the trip.

Authorities have determined the cause of death to be accidental drowning. The incident took place in the popular recreational area of the Pocono Mountains, which attracts numerous school groups and tourists for outdoor activities including whitewater rafting.

The boy was a sixth-grade student, though additional details about the specific school or circumstances surrounding the capsizing have not been released. The annual rafting trip appears to have been an established school activity.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing. No additional information about other students or staff involved in the trip has been made available at this time.
