Diver finds another set of human remains near Lake Mead marina

Human remains were found near the shores of Lake Mead again last week, marking at least the sixth discovery of its kind since late spring.

The latest finding came after a concession dive operator who works at Lake Mead uncovered what looked like a human bone while diving in the reservoir's Callville Bay area in Nevada on Oct. 17, a spokesperson for the National Park Service confirmed in a statement on Thursday. The park service then sent a diving team to conduct a wider probe of the bay, which is one of Lake Mead's more frequented tourist spots and includes a marina with boat rentals as well as a campground. The team was able to verify "the finding of human skeletal remains," the spokesperson said.

There is no foul play suspected at this time, according to the spokesperson, who also noted that the Clark County Coroner's Office was contacted to identify the remains.
