At approximately 3:35 p.m. Deputy Roger Doyle located the male subject at a water depth of 15 feet. Deputies Robert Guerrero and Jeff Hurd assisted Doyle in swimming the victim ashore. Paramedic's administered emergency medical aid and transported the victim to Inland Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 4:33 p.m.
The investigation determined that the adult male was at the lake with his family when he noticed a young female child struggling to stay afloat in the water.
