Body Found Floating In Lake

By BRIAN DiTULLIO
Tuesday, April 26, 2005 11:21 PM MDT

The body of an unknown man was pulled from Lake Havasu Tuesday morning.

According to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office and the incident report from the Lake Havasu City Police Department, the body of a white male with short brown hair, aged 25 to 30 years old wearing a white T-shirt and a red swimsuit was found floating on an inner tube by a boater just east of the Site Six landing.

As of late Wednesday, no cause or time of death had been established.

Lake Havasu City Police were notified around 6:30 a.m. of the find and the case was turned over to the county, which has jurisdiction over the lake.


Detectives from the Sheriff's Office arrived at 6:44 a.m. and began their investigation.

Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Trish Carter said she was unaware of any missing person's reports filed in the last day or two, but that detectives would be comparing the body to any reports filed.

An autopsy is pending and the case remains under investigation.

Now it's a possible suicide.....not identified, as yet.

....Mohave County Sheriff Tom Sheahan says evidence at the scene leads investigators to believe that the Southern California man took his own life....

There's 2 fold to this one.....

If I was gonna kill myself, I would want to do it in my haven, Havasu. That is my true place of happiness. I'm sure he had same thoughts.

But at the same time, don't let people find you floating around. Be understanding of other peoples lives......

It's also a shome that Havasu has to get the bad wrap of "another" dead person. There is enough accidents that occur there, eventually that lake is gonna be known as "lake hava-doom"

"Keeping it real"...........

I'm guessing he probably thought the gunshot would knock him off the tube.  Sportin' Wood says he thinks it was for insurance, so the body wouldn't be found and his wife could collect eventually.
