Body of 26-year-old man recovered at Lewisville Lake, officials say
The body of a 26-year-old man was recovered from Lewisville Lake Sunday, after he went underwater and did not resurface Saturday, officials said.
The initial 911 call reporting a possible drowning was received around 7:45 p.m. Saturday, according to a spokesperson for the city of Lewisville. Officials said the man, whose name has not been released, reportedly went under near Pier 121 Marina.
The Lewisville Fire Department's dive team and Texas Game Wardens responded to the scene. Divers focused on a specific location in the lake, while a rescue boat remained active in the area. But the search was suspended Saturday night.
"Crews will return to the area tomorrow (Sunday) morning," City spokesperson Matt Martucci said. "No time has been set as of yet."
Just after noon, Martucci confirmed the man's body had been recovered.
