El Dorado County Sheriff's OfficeThe Douglas County Sheriff's Office says a body was recovered from Lake Tahoe on Monday. Authorities say the recovery was made while searching for a missing person, who reportedly drowned the week before.
Douglas County Sheriff's Deputies say Monday's recovery was "unprecedented" because of the depth of the lake and technology used in the search.
They say the technology, an underwater Remote Operated Vehicle, was recently donated to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office by a local resident and DCSO offered their assistance to the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office.
The body was found 1,062 feet beneath the water's surface.
South Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue Marine 17 responded to assist Douglas County Sheriff Marine 7 with the body recovery. The South Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue Marine Unit was also donated by the same local resident that donated the ROV.
The person's name hasn't been released.
