Authorities on Thursday recovered the body of a San Francisco man who went missing while kayaking at Clear Lake last weekend, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials said that the deceased body of 28-year-old Dylan Flanagan was found by a traveling Calfire crew on the shoreline of Clear Lake, in the area of Olson Rd. in Cleaklake Oaks at 10:40 a.m.
Lake County News reported that Flanagan and his friends were staying at a vacation rental to celebrate his birthday when they decided to kayak towards Rattlesnake Island.
Flanagan was last seen by his girlfriend at approximately 4:45 p.m. on Sunday while kayaking near Clearlake Oaks Boat Launch.
His girlfriend made contact with him on his cell phone at 5:08 p.m. and he assured her he was on his kayak and "okay." Officials said all subsequent calls went to voicemail. He was reported missing to authorities at 8:20 p.m., prompting a search by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol Unit in the days that followed, resulting in Thursday's tragic discovery.
An autopsy is scheduled for next week, authorities said.
