Man's body recovered from Arcadia Lake in Edmond after he jumped into the lake to cool off
Edmond police and other law enforcement agencies have recovered a man's body from Arcadia Lake in Edmond a day after he apparently jumped into the lake from a boat but couldn't get back onboard. According to Edmond Police Department spokesperson Emily Ward, a man and woman were on a boat, then the man jumped into the water to cool off but couldn't swim in the choppy lake conditions. The boat got away from him and the woman did not know how to operate the boat, Ward said, adding the woman attempted to throw a line to him, but the effort was unsuccessful. Edmond police were contacted around 2 p.m. Saturday, June 28, and began a rescue operation to locate the man, Ward said. After an hour of searching, police began a recovery mission based on the time the man had been missing. Along with the police department's dive team, the Edmond Fire Department provided its dive team, and both agencies deployed drones to see if he had been washed onto shore, Ward said. The search was halted just before 9 p.m. Saturday night and resumed at 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning, Ward said. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol brought advanced sonar equipment, citing environmental factors and underwater currents, and located the man's body at the bottom of the lake. The Edmond Police Department's dive team retrieved the man's body just before 1 p.m. Sunday, Ward said. He was not wearing a life jacket at the time of the incident, Ward said. The scene has been cleared and Ward said there will be an investigation. 'There's no reason to believe it's anything other than a terrible accident,' she said. The man's identity had not been released Sunday afternoon. This is an ongoing story. Check for updates. This article originally appeared on Oklahoman: Body recovered from Arcadia Lake in Edmond
