Lake Pleasant drowning victim identified by authorities

A man went underwater in Lake Pleasant Saturday afternoon and authorities say two days later that his body was found.

Peoria Fire and Medical Capt. Mario Bravo says a man went overboard from a sailboat without a life jacket and never resurfaced on July 16.

Crews with both Peoria Fire and Medical and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office searched for the man but hadn't been able to find him.

On July 18, the sheriff's office says the body of 36-year-old Spencer Namba was found near Castle Creek Cove at Lake Pleasant.
