    HAVASU LANDING — Lake Havasu has taken another life.
    An adult man drowned just after noon Sunday after he reportedly jumped off the courtesy docks on the Chemehuevi Tribal Reservation.
    SundayÂ’s drowning was the third on Lake Havasu and the fifth on the Colorado River so far this year.
    Jodi Miller, spokesperson the San Bernardino County SheriffÂ’s Office, said the man was standing on the dock, talking to others on a boat when the boat started to drift away from the dock.
    “Witnesses said he was talking to people on the other boat and holding the boat. He pushed out and then he was trying to pull it back, then he jumped in the water,” Miller said.
    Witnesses reported seeing the man take one deep breath then go underneath the dock. When he didnÂ’t resurface they called for emergency assistance.
    “He was found at 1525 (3:25 p.m.) by two members of the SBCSO Marine Enforcement Unit. The area where the body was recovered was very, very grassy,” Miller said.
    The victimÂ’s name is being withheld pending notification of next-of-kin. Investigation to determine if alcohol was a factor in the incident is ongoing.
