A man scuba diving in Lake Minnetonka on Friday afternoon died after he went missing underwater while diving with another man.
Authorities say about noon Friday, a diver was reported missing in Maxwell Bay on Lake Minnetonka. The Hennepin County sheriff’s office water patrol unit, with help from officers from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, searched for the diver with sonar equipment.
Another diver who had been with the man found him about 30 feet from where he’d last been seen. The man was brought to shore and paramedics tried to save his life but after extensive efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The sheriff’s office is investigating the death and the county medical examiner’s office will release the victim’s identity and cause of death later.
No further information was available Friday night.
