LOGAN, Utah (AP) — The Latest on a missing swimmer at northern Utah's Newton Dam (all times local):
12:35 p.m.
Authorities say the body of a man who disappeared while swimming in a reservoir at Newton Dam has been found.
The Cache County Sheriff's Office says 35-year-old Austin Nsegiyumva's body was found about 50 feet from shore under 8 feet of water.
Lt. Brian Locke told the Deseret News that a search team had previously combed that area but there had been storms recently and thick brush on the bottom of the reservoir that may have delayed finding the body.
Authorities say Nsegiyumva was swimming with friends and disappeared.
The sheriff's office says the man's body is being sent to the state medical examiner's office.

Northern Utah authorities are scaling back the search for a swimmer who disappeared while swimming at Newton Dam over the weekend.
Cache County Sheriff's Lt. Brian Locke told the Herald Journal Monday that volunteers will remain throughout the week to search for the 35-year-old man.
The man was last seen Saturday in a marshy area of the reservoir. Rescuers were called 20 to 30 minutes after he was last seen.
Search and rescue teams and divers spent two days searching the area.
The man's name has not been released.
