MELVERN, Kan.: Scuba diver drowns in eastern Kansas lake - Latest News - MiamiHerald.com
MELVERN, Kan. -- Authorities in eastern Kansas say a man who drowned at Melvern Lake over the weekend had been scuba diving.
The victim was identified Monday as 37-year-old Vincent Rice, of Melvern. The Osage County sheriff's office is calling the death an accidental drowning, but more details are expected after an autopsy.
Rescue crews were called around 4 p.m. Sunday to the Coeur D'Alene swimming beach at the eastern end of the sprawling lake after Rice failed to surface. His body was recovered about five hours later following a search by several agencies.
 
Can anyone find any updates to ths? This is basically my backyard, but haven't heard of anything else. Some of us were talking about diving that exact spot.
