This summer as Las Vegas deals with a continuing drought, Lake Mead continues to recede.
As the lake recedes 5 different sets of human remains have been found in the dried-up lake and now one of the sets of remains has been identified.
From NBC News:
Skeletal remains found in drought-stricken Lake Mead in May have been identified as those of a 42-year-old man who was reported to have drowned two decades ago, a coroner has found.
The remains found May 7 at Callville Bay are one of several discoveries made since May 1 as the water level of the nation's largest reservoir has fallen to historic lows.
The Clark County coroner/medical examiner identified the remains found at Callville Bay as those of Thomas Erndt, of Las Vegas, county spokesman Dan Kulin said.
Erndt was reported to have drowned Aug. 2, 2002, he said.
While the Lake was always rumored as a dumping ground for people knocked off by the mob it is also the resting place for many people involved in accidents, like many recreational lakes.
Now, 20 years after his death, Thomas Erndt's body has been found.
The mafia has to be breathing a sigh of relief.
The other 4 sets of remains have yet to be identified.

“The mafia has to be breathing a sigh of relief.”
LOL. Only if the body wasn’t crammed into a rusting barrel.

I heard that Mead has risen two and a half feet over the past month and that the Las Vegans started throwing bodies in it again.

Hey, another drowning victim!
I wonder why all these guys thought they could swim with their feet set in a washtub of concrete.
Weird!

Actually he was there to ‘lose his firearm in a boating accident’ but it accidentally fell overboard. He jumped in to retrieve it forgetting that he didn’t know how to swim.

"How’d he get in the barrel?" Tried swimming with more concrete than he could carry.
