The body of a 38-year-old man was recovered Monday at Lake Mohave, a Lake Mead National Recreation Area statement said.

At 9:52 a.m., the recreation area’s communication center received a call from a bystander reporting that someone was swimming and yelled for help before going underwater near Cabinsite Cove, the statement said.

Lake Mohave is about 100 miles south of Las Vegas.
