The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says a 21-year-old man died after being found unconscious at Lake Tahoe near Cave Rock late last month.
Deputies say on June 25th, a passerby called the Coast Guard saying he located the man unconscious floating in the water between Meeks Bay and Cave Rock near a personal watercraft. Deputies say the passerby removed the man from the water and began CPR until Placer County Marine 6 arrived on scene.
Deputies say the Marine 6 crew continued CPR while transporting the man to Cave Rock, but eventually lifesaving efforts failed, and Jawahar Kaliyamurthy was pronounced dead.
An official cause of death remains pending, and the investigation remains ongoing.
