A teenager's body has been pulled from Lewisville Lake after going missing in the water late Wednesday afternoon.

The first 9-1-1 call directed searchers to the swimming area just off Lewisville Lake Park.

Lewisville Fire Department divers went in the water immediately and recovered the body of a 17-year-old boy around 8 p.m.

The identity of the victim has not yet been released.

On Sunday, a man drowned in the same part of the lake. And three others drowned there over the Independence Day weekend. In each case, the victim was not wearing a life jacket.
