A body was pulled from Possum Kingdom Lake early Sunday morning after a search for a missing man began Saturday night, according to authorities.
A 46-year-old man from Shaker’s Camp on the west side of Possum Kingdom Lake was pronounced dead at 1:24 p.m. after his body was found and pulled from the lake, according to Stephens County Justice of the Peace Mike Heatley.
He was found about 25-30 feet from the edge of the lake in about 12-14 feet of water, according to Heatley.
Heatley said he ruled it an accidental drowning, though the body was sent to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner for autopsy.
No further information was available Tuesday from the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office.
