URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) - Police have identified a man who drowned in a suburban Des Moines pond as a Puerto Rico resident.

Police on Monday identified the man as 27-year-old Brian Dominguez.

Police were first called about 9 p.m. Saturday to the Extended Stay America hotel in Urbandale, where a man reported that his brother and another man had been swimming in the pond near the hotel when one of them went missing. Officers couldn’t find him Saturday night.

The Polk City dive team was called in early Sunday morning, and divers found the body a little before 2 p.m.
