The body of a University Park police officer reported missing was recovered from Lake Tawakoni Thursday morning.
Sgt. Robert Ramsey left his home to go duck hunting and didn't return home at the expected time.
University Park police say it appears Ramsey had been launching his boat at the lake's public boat ramp when he fell in the water. His boat was found adrift about five miles away from the launch site later in the day. Authorities began conducting a search and rescue operation at the lake Wednesday afternoon.
Ramsey's body, was found and recovered at about 11:20 a.m. Thursday. University Park police said the circumstances into how Ramsey ended up in the water are not known.
Ramsey joined the department in 2008 and leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
