RIO VERDE, AZ — Maricopa County Sheriff's Office officials have confirmed that they have recovered the body of a man who went underwater at SB Cove on Bartlett Lake Saturday afternoon and did not resurface.
MCSO says 21-year-old Juan Ojeda-Valdez of Phoenix was at the cove with friends when he lost his footing and went underwater. The man reportedly fell into an area with a depth of 15 feet of water and did not resurface.
Ojeda-Valdez was not reportedly wearing a life jacket at the time. MCSO does not believe any foul play played a part in his death.
