Human remains discovered in Lake Mead in October have been identified as a 39-year-old man who is believed to have drowned in the reservoir nearly five decades ago, officials announced Tuesday.
Medical examiners determined the remains belong to Donald Smith, a Las Vegas resident who reportedly drowned in April 1974, the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner said in a release.
Smith's remains were at least the sixth discovery of human remains at the reservoir in the past year as a prolonged, excruciating drought across the American West has driven Lake Mead's water levels to record lows and caused its shoreline to recede rapidly.The dropping shoreline has also revealed handfuls of previously submerged boats, a historic World War II-era vessel and one of the reservoir's original water intake valves.
One set, found near the Callville Bay area on May 7, 2022, has been identified as 42-year-old Thomas Erndt, Clark County officials said. Erndt's family said he drowned while going for a late-night swim as the family was boating on the lake with friends.That includes three sets of partial remains found in August and July along the shoreline of the lake's popular Boulder Beach that all belong to one person, according to the coroner's office.
