Around 9:45 p.m., the search was canceled due to thunderstorms in the area. At noon on Sunday, June 15, officials said they 'successfully located and completed the drowning recovery earlier this morning.'
Details on the cause of the drowning or the victim's identity have not yet been released.
Officials urged everyone to stay out of the area and not make a wake nearby while crews were searching, as the wake would have altered the SONAR images for the crew.
