The man found dead in Lake Mead almost 24 hours after he disappeared in the water near Callville Bay was identified by the Clark County coroner’s office Tuesday.

He was swimming with friends in a cove without a life jacket when he began struggling, according to officials at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

His cause of death is still pending. Officials believe that alcohol may have been a contributing factor.

Another swimmer, from Chicago, disappeared Thursday in Boulder Basin and has yet to be found.

Search teams are still scanning the water looking for 35-year-old Istvan Tibor Feichtner. residential customers of the Clark County Water Reclamation District will have to pay $221.09 per house, down from last year’s $230.30 per house.

The bills are being printed and will be mailed next week.
