The body of a Vincennes man has been recovered from Turtle Creek Reservoir in Sullivan County.
Authorities say the man, identified as 53-year-old Patrick J. Dehut of Vincennes, went missing early Sunday morning.
Sullivan County Dispatch received a call from Hoosier Energy Security around 4:00 am Sunday who said they had activated their high wind advisory alarm, which is used to warn boaters to evacuate the water.
One boat failed to return.
Indiana Conservation Officers responded and were assisted by the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Department but were unable to locate the missing boat or its occupant.
A search was initiated using boats, side scan sonar, and scuba divers.
Around 8:00 am yesterday morning, the body was recovered from the water.
The investigation is ongoing, and the exact cause of death is pending autopsy results.
