Two men dead after separate drownings in Manitoba
Manitoba RCMP are investigating two separate drowning incidents that claimed the lives of two men on Saturday. Steinbach RCMP were called to Reynolds Ponds in the Rural Municipality of Reynolds around 2 p.m. Officers were told a man had been swimming when he suddenly disappeared beneath the surface and did not come up. Bystanders were searching for the swimmer but did not find the man. The Manitoba RCMP Underwater Recovery Team was deployed to assist in the search. A 70-year-old man from Ontario was later found dead. Drowning in Grand Beach Later that evening, Selkirk RCMP responded to another drowning at Grand Beach around 8 p.m. Police were told two men had gone out onto the lake on a pool floatation device, then the men lost their balance and fell into the water. One man was rescued by a nearby kayaker, but the second man did not resurface. The Underwater Recovery Team located the body of a 25-year-old Winnipeg man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigations into both incidents are ongoing.

Van found underwater with body inside was reported missing in 2014, MD cops say
Police in Maryland are investigating after a van was found submerged in water with human remains inside. The Baltimore Police Department's Underwater Recovery Team was called to the Baltimore harbor on July 24 for reports of a submerged vehicle, police told McClatchy News. The team found the van about 22 feet underwater and used lines to pull it out, then found human remains inside, according to police. Police said the van and body's condition suggests they had been submerged in the water for years. Investigators found the vehicle was reported missing in 2014. The van had a logo and phone number for Silver Taxi Cab Service of Waldorf on it, according to the Baltimore Banner. The remains have not been identified and the medical examiner is working to determine a cause of death.

Search concludes with police recovering nine vehicles from small Dallas lake
For a second consecutive day, the Dallas Police Department's Underwater Recovery Team searched a small lake, where several submerged vehicles were discovered during a recent dredging operation. Five vehicles were pulled from Lake Cliff Park on Friday, following the recovery of four on Thursday. Camaro among latest vehicles recovered Investigators said no human remains were found in any of the vehicles, which could indicate they were stolen and dumped. However, that remains under investigation. The recovery process is slow and potentially hazardous, requiring divers to proceed carefully and methodically. Residents watch and speculate Several residents gathered along the shoreline to observe the operation and speculate about how the vehicles ended up in the lake. "I think it just makes more sense to me that they're probably just drunk," said Eduardo Martinez, a Dallas resident. "You see a little curve over there. If you're drunk and you're uninsured or something, I don't know — probably just uninsured. And then your car ends up in there. What are you going to do? Are you going to call it in?" Discovery raises concerns for some Another resident, Inez Simpson, said the discovery was unsettling. "It kind of heightened my anxiety," Simpson said. "The first thing I thought was about whether anybody was in the car that was submerged. But since I've been informed, they're probably just stolen vehicles that are coming up." It remains unclear whether the Underwater Recovery Team will return to the lake over the weekend or resume work on Monday. In a statement, the Dallas Police Department said it will post an update when more information becomes available.
