18-year-old vanishes as friends try to pull him from lake, CA fraternity says
An 18-year-old's body has been found after he vanished while swimming at Lake Havasu on the California-Arizona border, sheriff's officials reported. A 911 caller reported that Simon Daniel, 18, of Pinole, California, went underwater and did not resurface near Copper Canyon on the lake at about 3 p.m. Saturday, May 17, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in a news release. Daniel, a first-year student at California State University, Fullerton, visited the lake with fellow fraternity and sorority members, the Sigma Pi fraternity at the college said on Facebook. The swimmers did not realize that recent heavy rains had created dangerous conditions in the water, the fraternity said. Other fraternity members entered the water to assist the swimmers, but a wave separated Daniel from the others and he vanished underwater, the fraternity said. A dive team using sonar and a remote-operated vehicle found his body just before 9 a.m. Sunday, May 18, the sheriff's office said. He was known for his 'love of music, boundless energy and kind spirit,' the fraternity said. The fraternity described Daniel as a computer science major and 'a respected leader on campus' at the Los Angeles-area university. 'He was the heart of the fraternity - genuine, joyful and someone who brightened every room with his brilliant smile,' the fraternity said. Deputies ask anyone with information to call Cpl. Brandon Abell at 760-326-9200. Lake Havasu is about a 300-mile drive east from Los Angeles.

Investigation launched after BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir temple vandalized in Chino Hills
Authorities are searching for the two alleged vandals who were caught on camera as they vandalized the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir temple in Chino Hills early Saturday. Footage shows the suspects as they spray-painted graffiti messages on the marble sign outside of the temple, a brick wall and a city sidewalk. Deputies were dispatched to the temple, which is located just off SR-71 at 15100 Fairfield Ranch Road, at around 9:15 a.m. after receiving reports of the vandalism, according to a statement from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. "BAPS is deeply saddened that we find ourselves compelled again to call for peace in the face of hate and intolerance," said a statement from BAPS Mandir leaders. Temple officials estimated that the total cost of the repairs could be over $15,000. They say that the hateful messages contain wording directed towards India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. They say that this is one of many similar acts occurring at different Hindu mandirs across the country, including in Long Island, New York and Sacramento. Thus far, investigators have not yet identified either suspect. Anyone who knows more is asked to contact authorities at (909) 364-2000. On Sunday morning, temple leaders hosted a unity prayer and call for peace. "We strongly denounce these actions and pray for peace among all communities. The values of peace, respect, and harmony for all people, regardless of background or faith, form the foundation of religious freedom in the United States," said a statement from BAPS. "We also offer our heartfelt prayers for those responsible for this crime, that they may be freed from their hatred and recognize our shared humanity."
