A man's body was recovered from Joe Pool Lake on Easter Sunday after he reportedly went for a swim and drowned, firefighters say.
The Grand Prairie Fire Department said crews responded to a possible drowning at the lake at 5:30 Sunday evening. A witness reported seeing a man swimming near the beach and the restroom area who did not resurface.
The Grand Prairie Public Safety Dive Team searched and recovered a body of an adult male. He was not wearing a life vest, firefighters said.
The man's identity will be released by the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office.
