Sixth person dies at Lake Pueblo this season following boating accident Saturday night
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) confirmed Saturday night that a woman died at Lake Pueblo following a boating accident.
CPW said staff tried to save the life of the woman, but were unsuccessful.
The woman's death marks the sixth person to die at Lake Pueblo since Memorial Day. It's also the second person to die this week after a body was recovered from the lake on Thursday.
The Pueblo County Coroner will release the identity of the victim after the office can make a positive identification and notify next of kin.
Details are still limited as the scene is still active, KRDO has a crew on the way to the scene.
If this death is confirmed to be a drowning, it appears this would be the 24th drowning in Colorado this year. CPW said the record number of drownings was in 2020 with 34.
