Around 7pm on Wednesday, bystanders called 911 after seeing the victim, a 31-year old man, struggle to retrieve a loose inflatable kayak that blew away due to high winds. The man was not wearing a life jacket and failed to resurface.
Park rangers responded and searched the area but the effort was suspended due to severe storms throughout the evening.
Search and rescue efforts resumed Thursday morning with support from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The body was located around 11am.
The incident remains under investigation.
