Search teams were expected to return to Lake Ray Roberts this morning to keep looking for a man who jumped into the water yesterday near the Isle du Bois area of Ray Roberts Lake State Park and never resurfaced. Multiple emergency agencies rushed to the scene, but initial rescue efforts did not find him. Authorities have not released the man’s name or shared additional details about what led up to the incident.
According to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth, the Lewisville Fire Department and Texas Game Wardens were among the agencies that responded, and Lewisville dive teams planned to resume searching Monday morning. FOX 4 reported that crews were deployed immediately after the man went into the water and did not come back up. Police have not provided further information, the station said.
