This week, a body was found lodged in mud at the lake\u2019s shoreline as water levels in the reservoir hits an all-time low. The body is the third to be found following two others earlier this year which prompted officials to investigate their origins. However, many speculate the finds were mob-related hits as the first body was analyzed to be over a decade old. A fourth body was also found Thursday which officials said is from a 31-year-old male kayaker who was reported missing and is believed to have drowned.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cPark rangers are on scene and have set a perimeter to recover the remains,\u201d the National Park Service said in a statement. \u201cThe Clark County Medical Examiner has been contacted to determine the cause of death.
