A man is still missing after falling off a boat into Lake Erie in Ripley Thursday.

The boat was a half-mile off shore when the incident took place. The Chautauqua County Water Emergency Team, New York State assets, United States Coast Guard, local emergency assets, and Pennsylvania Emergency teams searched the area Thursday but did not find the missing person.
The investigation is ongoing but no foul play is suspected.
