Human remains found at Lake Mead in October have been identified as those of a North Las Vegas man who drowned in 1974, Clark County officials said.
The latest discovery in Lake Mead’s receding waters comes less than a week after a body in a barrel was discovered.
In July and August, the remains of an unidentified man were found near the shoreline of Boulder Beach. Some of the remains were found by park visitors. The coroner’s office continues to attempt to identify the remains but noted that DNA and other forms of identification can be affected by the elements.
“The process for identifying the remains includes examinations to determine the gender and approximate age, height and weight of each decedent; the collection of DNA samples, the quality of which can be greatly affected by time and environmental conditions,” Clark County officials said.
