A witness said they saw the man on Thursday, but couldn’t recall a specific time, BCSO said in a news release.
BCSO deputies, the Corp of Engineer Rangers and a Texas Parks and Wildlife game warden went to the lake on Thursday to search for him.
The man’s body was recovered after a quick search, BCSO said.
