FREMONT, Ohio -- A neighbor says an 11-year-old Ohio boy who watched two younger brothers and his best friend fall through ice on a river feels responsible for their deaths.
Neighbor Toni Singleton says she visited D'Andre Everett in a hospital hours after the Sunday accident. She says Everett told her it was his idea to go out on the Sandusky River near Fremont and that he was collecting dead fish from the icy surface when the others fell through.
Sandusky County Sheriff Kyle Overmyer says the older brother ran home to get help and at least one neighbor tried to toss a rope to save the three boys in the water.
The boys were identified as 7-year-old Jay'Den Taylor-Everett; his brother, 8-year-old Da'Vontae Everett; and 10-year-old Rafel Villanueva, all of Fremont.
