Update: On Thursday afternoon, divers recovered the body of a 19-year-old Dallas man who was swimming near Copperas Branch Park on Wednesday.
First responders were notified about 4:15 p.m. Wednesday of a possible drowning at the park. The drowning victim was reportedly swimming with friends when he went underwater and didn’t resurface, according to a news release from the city of Highland Village.
After several hours of searching, the dive team paused the search around 9 p.m. due to fading daylight. They resumed the search Thursday morning and recovered the body around 1:30 p.m. Thursday, according to a Lewisville Fire Department spokesman.
This reported drowning is unrelated to other drownings in the lake on Monday and Tuesday.
