Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Marine Unit (Marine 7) recovered a body from a depth of 1,062 feet in Lake Tahoe on Monday.
The recovery was made while searching for a missing person, who reportedly drowned the week prior, according to a press release from the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office. The identity of the decedent is being withheld until the family has been notified.
“This search and recovery effort was unprecedented in Lake Tahoe because the extreme depths and the technology needed to facilitate this type of recovery,” El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office said in the release.
