PEORIA — The body of a swimmer has been recovered at Lake Pleasant after being reported missing a week ago.

Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the lake on August 6 after a man went underwater and did not resurface.

Deputies spent several days searching the area of Humbug Cove in order to locate the man.

On August 12, MCSO officials announced they recovered his body.

He has been identified as 72-year-old Gregory Elias.

There are no signs of foul play, MCSO said.
