Vincent Au, 28, of Sunnyvale, California, was swimming with friends in Bass Lake on Saturday, June 16th, when he disappeared. Bass Lake is small lake which is a very popular swimming hole. Rangers immediately responded to search the area. The Marin County dive team was notified and headed to the lake. Despite significant search efforts, Au’s body was not recovered until Friday, June 22nd, when it resurfaced and was recovered. The lake has many submerged trees which complicated the diving efforts. Au’s body was removed by rangers and turned over to the county coroner’s office. Bruce Dombrowski and Dan Habig were the incident commanders for this operation, which was a cooperative investigation between rangers and the Marin County Coroner’s Office.
