Tuscaloosa Police are searching for a drowning victim at Lake Nicol, known as 'The Cliffs,' after a man jumped into the water and did not resurface. Multiple agencies, including the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office, Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue, and ALEA Marine Patrol, are involved in the ongoing search operation.
Skeletal remains found in Lake Mead have been identified as a 1974 drowning victim, Donald P. Smith, through DNA identification. Smith's death has been ruled accidental. This is at least the sixth discovery of human remains at the reservoir in the past year as a drought across the West has driven Lake Mead’s water levels to record lows and caused its shoreline to rapidly recede. Coroner's investigators are still trying to identify other remains found last year while the lake recedes because of the drought.
