Authorities say the boy was found outside North Beach's designated swimming area about 7 p.m. Sunday. Life guards end their watch at 6 p.m. every day at the Racine beach. The boy was taken to All Saints Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Deputies canvassed the beach to find the boy's family. Relatives say they had not seen the boy for about an hour.
