SPANISH FORK, Utah (AP) — The body of a man has been recovered from Spanish Fork reservoir.
Spanish Fork City police say search and rescue teams pulled the fully clothed body of 20-year-old Jose Eduardo Castellanos on Sunday morning.
Lt. Matt Johnson says Castellanos' family reported him missing when he didn't return from fishing at the Spanish Oaks Reservoir on Saturday.
Authorities found his car in the parking lot. A hat and vest were also found on a reservoir bank.
But searchers then had to wait for daylight.
According to Johnson, Castellanos was found in 5 feet of water.
It's unclear if he slipped into the water and was unable to get out.
This is the second time someone has drowned since the reservoir's construction in 2002.
A 53-year-old man drowned there in 2011.
