Clark County coroner ID’s man who died at Lake Mead
The Clark County coroner’s office has identified the man who died after a “possible drowning” at Lake Mead on Tuesday.
He was Ricardo J. Soto III, 46, of Las Vegas, the coroner’s office said.
Park service rangers were called to Boulder Beach at 4:22 p.m. after a report that Soto was swimming after an inflatable raft and went underwater, according to a statement. Beachgoers pulled Soto from the water and performed CPR, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The park service said Soto was not wearing a life jacket. His cause and manner of death are still pending.
