The body of an Oregon man was recovered from Devils Lake over the weekend.
According to the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department the victim was on a pontoon Saturday afternoon near Creel Bay when he jumped in the water to go swimming. Authorities say other individuals on the boat attempted to rescue the man when they noticed he was in distress – but without success.
The Lake Region Search and Rescue Team looked for the man into the evening and resumed the search the following day with the assistance of the Stutsman County Dive Team.
The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department says the man’s body was recovered around 11:30 Sunday morning. The S-O identified the victim as Gary Williams-Jr. of Eugene (Oregon).
