UPDATE:  A boater who went missing in Lake Tahoe earlier this week has been found dead.

Officials say the body of Ian Morlang was found with the help of El Dorado County Search and Rescue cadaver dogs and a remote operated vehicle.

Morlang was found around 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon.

Officials did not give any other information.

A boater remains missing in Lake Tahoe after he and two others got separated while swimming near Lily Beach late Tuesday afternoon. 

South Lake Tahoe Police say 25-year-old Ian Morlang and the two others rented a boat from the Tahoe Keys Marina and were swimming when currents and wind moved the boat away from the trio.

The two rescued people were wearing lifejackets, but Morlang was not. 

The couple told investigators Morlang went under the water and wasn’t seen again.

Marine-1 initiated a search and rescue operation, with the assistance of the U.S. Coast Guard, El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Tahoe Douglas Fire, South Tahoe Fire Rescue and CalStar medical helicopter.

They searched until sunset and then the Coast Guard and Navy rescue helicopter from Fallon Naval Base, continued the search through the night without success.

The search continues Thursday.
