Another body was found in the popular Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texaswhere other deceased persons were recently found.
The latest body found joins the growing mystery after at least six additional bodies were found in the lake throughout the year in 2024. On Friday, police were called to investigate reports of a dead person in the water near the 1st Street Bridge and 300 block of César Chavez.
Austin Police Department (APD) said they do not suspect foul play as the body showed no signs of trauma, but are investigating the incident.
Even as APD tries to quell fears in the community, there are many questions and speculation. Police have attributed most deaths to accidental drowning due to the proximity of nightclubs and bars to the lake.
