Two weeks after spending the Fourth of July on a popular South Carolina lake, 12-year-old Jaysen Carr died from a brain-eating amoeba that was living in the warm water.

Jaysen Carr, 12, died just weeks after swimming in Lake Murray in South Carolina. Now, his family is pushing for clearer public safety warnings and stronger community awareness.

My son was a very smart individual. If he had one warning, he would have thought swimming in the lake was a bad idea," the boy's father said.
