Teenager Drowns In Lake Mohave

The body of a 19-year-old Las Vegas man who drowned in Lake Mohave was recovered on Sunday, September 6th. Divers from Las Vegas Metro Police found the body in about 14 feet of water. The park had learned of the drowning earlier that afternoon via a transferred 911 call from Bullhead City. According to reports, the man swam out to a point of land with five friends, but lagged behind and disappeared under the surface on the way back. Friends and bystanders began searching the area. They were unable to find him, so called 911 about 20 minutes after he went under. Rangers and Arizona game wardens responded. Rangers located the body about 35 feet from shore in 14 feet of water. He wasn’t wearing a lifejacket.
