WACO, Texas — The body of a missing jet skier was recovered from Lake Waco Friday evening, according to the Waco Police Department spokesman Garen Bynum.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to all of the friends and family of the 23-year-old male victim that was believed to have been located," Bynum said.
The identity of the jet skier was not released.
On Thursday around 8:30 p.m., both the police department and the Waco Fire Department were called out to the Ridgewood Country Club Marina on Lake Waco.
Crews learned earlier a man and woman were on the lake jet skiing when it overturned and the two fell into the water, he said.
The woman was rescued by a boater who was on the water at the time. However, the man was not located.
After two hours of searching, fire crews called off the search Thursday night because of darkness, he said. Search efforts continued at 7 a.m. Authorities were joined by members of the community who were assisting in the search.
On Friday, police said the man wasn't wearing a life jacket.
