NV Unidentified remains found in Lake Mead, Nevada

As Lake Mead continues to shrink, human remains have been discovered for the fourth time since May.

National Park Service rangers received a call reporting human skeletal remains on Saturday morning at Swim Beach in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, according to a National Park Service press release.

The Clark County Medical Examiner was called to determine the cause of death.


Three other bodies have been discovered in the shrinking lake recently. The first body was discovered in early May, and police believe it dates back to the late 1970s to early 1980s and are investigating it as a homicide, according to CNN.

The second set of remains was found on May 7 at Callville Bay and the third on July 25 at Swim Beach, according to the National Park Service.
A National Park Service spokesperson told CNN a possible explanation for some of the remains is that they could be people who drowned in the lake when the water levels were higher in the 1980s.

Water levels for the lake were at their highest in 1983 at 1225 feet.

The National Park Service reported a fourth set of human remains discovered in Lake Mead on Saturday as drought continues to cause the lake to shrink. If the Lake keeps shrinking, the Hoover Dam won’t function.

" 2X Idletime button-down short-sleeve shirt and jeans with a Vidal Sasson-style design on the pocket, according to NamUs. The jeans have a 46-inch waist and are 30 inches long."

That was one big dude!

yet short legged lol, not meaning to make fun of the dead.

he shopped at Kmart but apparently ate well...

of course in those days everything you bought shrunk when dried. Every time for how many times. So he may be a 1X or L an a 42 or 44 and inseam is like 28 or so inches for real.

Good point and they should point some of this out. A good sized man but short legged. Etc.

The police estimated the timeline from the late 70s to early 80s but it turns out to be more like late 80s to early 90s, a whole decade further. See this post on Websleuths.
