Man drowns in Lake Somerville boating accident

July 29, 2019 by Willy1550

Texas Game Wardens discovered a body on Friday night in Lake Somerville.

According to a social media post by the agency, two Wardens were already on the lake searching for a stolen boat when they came across a sunken vessel that was not pat of the original call.

The wardens rescued three men from the water before using side-scan sonar to find the missing fourth person, recovering the body around 1:45 am on Saturday morning.

According to the Wardens, the small boat had no PFDs on board and was loaded with a generator, fishing gear and other personal belongings which caused the boat to sink.
