WEBER COUNTY, Utah — After several hours of searching the water, the body of a man who possibly drowned after cliff jumping into a northern Utah reservoir has been found.
The Weber County Sheriff’s Office said they were called to Causey Reservoir (about 25 miles east of Ogden) Saturday around 2:30 p.m. A 23-year-old man jumped from a cliff into the water and initially resurfaced, but then went back under the water and didn’t come up.
A major search effort was initiated, with resources on the land, on the water and in the air. Several fire engines, at least one ambulance, police vehicles, an AirMed helicopter, and rafts were seen at the reservoir. At one point, police had the entrance to the reservoir closed off and were turning vehicles away.
The sheriff’s office confirmed that the man’s body was found around 9:10 p.m. by a dive team.
Later the same day, another person died at a reservoir in central Utah. A search commenced at Yuba Lake State Park for a man who went under while swimming and did not resurface. His body was also found by the search and rescue crew.
