Body Of Cliff Diver Recovered From Lake Mohave

Park personnel, assisted by Las Vegas Metro Police Department divers, recovered the body of an 18-year-old man from the waters of Lake Mohave near Placer Cove Saturday night. Several friends were diving from cliffs near the cove when the victim jumped in from a height of about 30 feet and failed to resurface. A friend who dove in right after him didn’t know that he was still in the area and struck him when he hit the water. The man then began to sink. Three other friends jumped in to rescue him, but found that he was sinking too fast to reach him. Divers recovered the body in about 50 feet of water around 10:30 that evening. The coroner will be determining the cause of death.
