Body Found At Pueblo Lake

A body was found at Lake Pueblo on Tuesday afternoon.

According to state park officials, an 81-year-old man was found dead at the north side of the lake.

State park spokesperson Deb Frazier says two people were fishing earlier today when one of them decided to go for a hike.

That man lost his footing and fell about 40 feet into the water.

Right now investigators think the death was just a tragic accident.

An autopsy is planned for tomorrow.
