LINDON – The body of a 23-year-old man was found Monday morning during a search and rescue operation at Utah Lake, according to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office.

Sgt. Dallin Turner of the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said one person was rescued by a passing boat and that weather played a role in the incident

At approximately 1 a.m. Monday, the sheriff’s office found the body of a 23-year-old male with the help of Life Flight and the Department of Public Safety.
“This is a tragic and unfortunate ending to the course of events from yesterday,” the sheriff’s office said in a post on X. “We would like to extend our condolences to the family.”
