FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Sheriff’s deputies in Coconino County say a young Mesa man has apparently drowned at a lake south of Flagstaff.
The sheriff’s office says a patrol volunteer was flagged down at the Lake Mary boat ramp by citizens who told them a man had disappeared under the water while swimming Saturday afternoon.
Family members told deputies they last saw 18-year-old Kevin Anaya struggling about 100 feet from land and went in the water to search for him after he went down.
A sheriff’s dive team recovered Anaya’s body about 9:30 p.m. Saturday near where he was last seen.
The county medical examiner will determine the official cause of death.
