According to officials, the man was not wearing a life vest at the time of his drowning.
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas — A 46-year-old man died Saturday morning after drowning at Joe Pool Lake, officials said.
Crews responded to a possible drowning around 11:20 a.m., according to a news release from the Grand Prairie Fire Department. A witness told authorities the man, who was last seen swimming off a boat, had not resurfaced.
The Grand Prairie Public Safety Dive Team searched the area and recovered the man’s body. His name will be released by the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Officials said he was not wearing a life vest at the time.
Just over one month ago, on May 10, two men drowned in the same lake after they fell off a boat and did not resurface.
“As the lake season continues, GPFD strongly encourages the public to wear a life vest or an appropriate personal flotation device while near or in the water,” the department said in the release.
