A TEEN boy has died and two kids are fighting for their lives after being pulled from a lake.
More than 100 people were at Lake Stevens in Washington State as fire crews rushed to the scene just after 5pm on June 26.
Officials revealed that a 13-year-old boy died, while a 15-year-old girl and another boy, 12, are in a critical condition.
Peter Mongillo, of Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue, said divers pulled two of the victims from the water and started performing CPR.
And, the boy, who later died, was found in a swimming area that was around 10 feet deep, KING5 reports.
He was pronounced dead after arriving at Providence Medical Center.

Mongillo said that neither of the victims were wearing a life jacket.
He told Fox13: “I can’t stress enough how important a life jacket is to wear – especially in this weather.
“It’s beautiful but that water is bone-chilling cold. It’ll suck the energy out of you.”
The tragedy comes just days after two brothers were found dead alongside their sister, 22, at a lake in Georgia.
