A 75-year-old man's body was recovered from Lower Lake Clementine, believed to be that of a missing person reported earlier. The man had been at the lake all day prior to his drowning. His truck and keys were found near the boat ramp, and his boat was located in a nearby marina. The Placer County Dive Team conducted a careful search, leading to the recovery of the body. This incident is part of a series of dangerous water-related events over the holiday weekend in the state.
The body of a 75-year-old man believed to have drowned was recovered from lower Lake Clementine on Sunday morning. The body is believed to belong to a man reported missing earlier in the day.
The man had reportedly been out on the lake - a reservoir on the North Fork American River near Auburn - all day on Saturday.
Authorities determined the man likely drowned after entering the lake, located 40 miles northeast of Sacramento.
The death is just one in a string of dangerous aquatic events across the state that occurred over the holiday weekend, including over 350 rescues in Newport Beach.
