Riley County Police say a Manhattan man’s body was recovered late Wednesday night from Tuttle Creek Lake after emergency response teams searched for nearly 10 hours.
Shortly before 2:30 p.m., Riley County Dispatch received a call from a citizen reporting a vehicle and clothes near a shoreline by the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Shady Lane. Emergency crews responded and found identification for a 24-year-old man but worked into the night to recover the body, with the assistance of numerous agencies, including the RCPD drone team, Riley County EMS, Emergency Management, Manhattan Fire, Riley County Rural Fire District No. 1, the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
Foul play is not suspected. Police are not releasing the man’s name until notifying his next of kin.
The cause of death is under investigation.
Police say it is not related to Saturday’s incident where a suicidal person caused Hwy 13 on the dam to be closed for nearly 10 hours.
