A day begins with the joy of high school graduation, and just hours later the sorrow of two funerals.

The funerals come as part of the terrible aftermath of a double drowning late Saturday evening.

The drowning took place in the Hammerman area of Gunpowder Falls State Park in Baltimore County.

Mary Bubala reports mixed with grief are questions from one of the victim's families.

One of the victims Kyle Bianchi had graduated from Mergenthaler High School Saturday morning.

An outing on the water to celebrate that event, ended just hours later in two deaths.

Family and friends gathered at the Overlea home of the Bianchi family to comfort a mother, a father and the older brother of an 18-year-old Kyle Bianchi, who along the 17-year-old Matthew Richard Collier of Baltimore County apparently drowned Saturday afternoon.

Authorities however say it's not clear if Collier had graduated too.

The Bianchi's however felt a range of emotions as their earlier cheers of support for their son, soon turned to tears.

"He was an excellent child, and an excellent person. He would have given his left arm, and his right arm to anyone who needed it," said Kyle Bianchi's mother, Robbin Bianchi.

The accident happened where the Gunpowder River empties into the Chesapeake.

Bianchi's parents were told the teens were swimming off a power boat operated by the uncle of a third teen.

"He went, circled back around, to get to the boys and he could only pull in his nephew. His nephew was the only one who could get into the boat," said Kyle's father, Richard Bianchi.

Divers using side scanning sonar located the teen's bodies in water of Aberdeen Proving Ground.

The Bianchi's want to know why Kyle's body showed signs of trauma when it was finally recovered.

"Last night I saw him after they recovered the body, I saw him, and I saw a big egg on his head and an abrasion across it, I saw a big bruise from his temple to his chin, and his lip was busted open," added the boy's father.

Tides in the area can be swift, especially after heavy rains.

There are designated swimming areas, it's not clear if that's where the teens were, but the Bianchi's say their son was athletic and a strong swimmer.

"He swam from here to Taylor Avenue in Waikiki," said Mrs. Bianchi. "Against a hard current and he did it."

The family tries hard to cope with the rollercoaster of emotions they experienced.

"He graduated yesterday he was so proud of his self, and I was so proud of him," his father said.

Because divers recovered the bodies close to Aberdeen Proving Ground, a government facility, it is now a federal investigation.
