CROSSLAKE-The body of the 60-year-old swimmer who failed to resurface after swimming on Adney Lake southeast of Crosslake Sunday, July 8, was recovered.
In an email release, Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl stated the Crow Wing County Dive Team recovered the victim in 9 feet of water at 1:45 p.m. Monday on the northwest side of the lake. The victim, a St. Paul man, was found in the vicinity to where he jumped off a pontoon, went under water and never resurfaced.
The incident was reported at 3:03 p.m. Sunday. The sheriff's office sent its water patrol team, dive team and drone team to respond. Recovery efforts were hindered by an approaching storm, which forced them to call off the search. Search efforts continued Monday morning.
