Body found after boat capsizes in Ohio reservoir

WESTERVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) — A Columbus police spokesperson said the body of a missing boater at Hoover Reservoir was found Sunday evening, just more than 24 hours after two men went into the water after their boat capsized.

Officials confirmed just after 6:30 p.m. that the man’s body was found.

Police and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources crews began searching the reservoir after strong winds Saturday capsized the boat just after 2 p.m.

One of the men was rescued Saturday before rescue efforts were suspended due to the high winds.

Officials have yet to release the identities of either man.
