The search for two men who went missing at Lake Perris this week is now a recovery effort, authorities say.
A search for two men who went missing in the water in Lake Perris in Riverside County this week was declared a recovery effort on Thursday by the California State Parks Department, authorities said.
“Both men were not wearing life jackets and both men are presumed missing under the water,” Supt. John Rowe, of the Parks Department’s Inland Empire Perris Sector, wrote in an emailed statement to The Times. The identities of the two men who likely drowned were not disclosed, but Rowe said they were Los Angeles County residents in their mid-40s.Three park officers and a lifeguard responded to a 911 call at the lake at 4:08 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said. The initial reports were of a vessel involved in an accident near the open boating zone just north of Alessandro Island.
A witness told park officials that one of the men was tubing behind a boat and fell into the lake. The second man then jumped into the water to try to save the swimmer. However, both individuals struggled in the water, before slipping below the surface, authorities said.
