Newnans Lake
An Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ASCO) dive team recovered the body of a boater who drowned in Newnans Lake on Tuesday.
According to ACSO spokesperson Kaley Behl, a call was received at 11:49 a.m. that someone at the lake heard a yell for help coming from a boat. When the person got to the boat, they didn’t find the boater and called 911.
The ACSO Marine Operations and Underwater Recovery Team (MO/URT) responded and found the deceased boater in the water around 12:30 p.m.
Behl said the scene was turned over to the Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC), which will be the lead agency conducting the investigation.
