Divers recovered the body Monday of a Tucson man believed to have drowned in Apache Lake early Sunday morning.
Campers at about 2 a.m. Sunday reported seeing a man fall into the water, said Maricopa County Sheriffโs Office Deputy Joaquin Enriquez.
Enriquez said the campers searched for the man on jet skis, but were unable to find him. He said a woman in the area later reported her husband Rodolfo Ruiz, 37, of Tucson, missing, the Arizona Republic reported.
Divers searched the lake, east of the Valley in Tonto National Forest, using sonar three times on Sunday but didn't find him before resuming the search on Monday. Divers recovered a pair of khaki shorts on Sunday believed to have belonged to Ruiz.
Enriquez said a family member told MCSO that Ruiz had been drinking and using drugs the night before and was "really intoxicated." The Sheriff's Office does not suspect foul play, according to the Republic.
