Authorities Wednesday recovered the body of a 26-year-old San Diego man who fell out of a boat on the Colorado River near Needles over the Labor Day weekend.
Terrell Antone Blake fell out of a 28-foot boat just after 7 p.m. Saturday when the vessel hit a wake on the river. He was not wearing a floatation device, according to a statement on the incident provided by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
Shortly after Blake fell, the Sheriff’s Department searched the river by boat, helicopter and brought in a dive team.
On Wednesday morning, authorities received a report of a body near the Interstate 40 bridge over the Colorado River. A county coroner’s official identified the body as that of Blake.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine cause of death.
