Body of Evansville Man Pulled from Patoka Lake

File

DNR: Edgar Osbaldo Garcia Herrera, 19, went missing in the lake Sunday afternoon

The body of a young Evansville man has been recovered from Patoka Lake. WNIN’s John Gibson has more:

The Department of Natural Resources says conservation officers were dispatched Sunday afternoon to the overlook dam in Dubois County for a person going under water and not resurfacing.

Divers later recovered the body of 19-year-old Edgar Osbaldo Garcia Herrera of Evansville from the lake.

There’s no word on an official cause of Herrera’s death.

Indiana Conservation Officers remind the public to always wear a life jacket when on or around water.
