Vivien Chow - (ABC4) – Authorities are
investigating after a man’s body was found in Bear Lake on Monday.
The Rich County Sheriff’s Office has identified the man as Kyle Dean
Walker, 31.
Walker’s body was discovered in about five feet
of water. The cause of death has not been determined.
Authorities were first notified by a Bear Lake
State Parks manager about Walker’s vehicle which had been parked overnight at a
day-use campsite.
A lake employee mentioned seeing a person out in
the water wearing scuba diving gear on Sunday afternoon. But by Monday, the
man’s car was still parked at the campsite.
Deputies investigated and were able to track
down the vehicle owner’s family members. The victim’s friends and family said
they had not heard from Walker since Saturday.
Authorities dispatched a boat equipped with side
sonar to locate Walker inside the lake. A Department of Public Safety (DPS)
Dive Team assisted in the recovery of the man’s body.
Officials are still actively investigating the
fatal incident to determine the events leading up to his death.
