He was later identified as a 30-year-old man from Modesto and taken to the Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office where officials said an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim during this time,” the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office said.
The agency reminded the community that wearing a life jacket, moderating alcohol intake, and swimming with someone else who can help you at a moment’s notice are all water safety tips that could save your life.
The drowning on Saturday comes about four days after a 37-year-old man from Oakland died in the same reservoir from drowning while swimming with his family on Tuesday.
