Thomas Erndt, who drowned during a night-time swim from his family's boat, has been identified as a body found on the lake's shores this month."He was a big joker and stuff too," Tom Erndt told KSNV."At first it was like, 'Oh,hahaha,' kind of thing, right? And it turned into screaming and yelling, and 'I need help!'"
By the time the family managed to call 911, it was too late. Despite search and rescue efforts and SCUBA divers investigating the waters near to where the boat had been, no body was ever recovered. "He stayed in the category of missing. My mind through 100 different scenarios of what was possible," Tom Erndt told KRON., a reservoir formed by the construction of the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, has seen five bodies uncovered on its shores this year as a result of the huge drops in water levels caused by the mega-drought baking the U.S. southwest. As of August 15, the lake was at just 27 percent of its total water capacity.
