UPDATE: Indiana DNR said responders arrived in the area and spoke with an individual who told them that the victim had offered to retrieve a fishing boat that had drifted away. The man entered the water and began to struggle to stay afloat before he was reportedly spotted going under.

A total of 30 minutes passed before divers with the Indianapolis Fire Department Dive Team discovered the man. He was immediately brought to IU Health Methodist Hospital for medical treatment. He was last reported to be in critical condition, according to Indiana DNR.

ORIGINAL POST:

A man's body was pulled from the Eagle Creek Resevoir this afternoon.

Indianapolis police and Pike Township firefighters were first called a little before noon after a swimmer went under and never resurfaced. The man was in the water for about a half an hour before being found.

Our crew at the scene says he was taken to a local hospital and was unresponsive. Still gathering details. Updates to come.
