An Arizona man drowned while cliff diving at Lake Havasu earlier this week.
The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office deputies and a dive crew responded to Standard Wash Cove in southern Lake Havasu over reports of a drowning on September 23.
24-year-old Ethan Aguilar was found dead in 18 feet of water, authorities said.
Rescuers pulled the deceased man to the surface and transported him to Cattail Cove State Park where he was confirmed dead.
Detectives said that Aguilar jumped about 30 feet from a cliff and started to struggle once he hit the water.
“The victim then went below the water’s surface. The victim was not wearing a personal flotation device,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
