Park staff were on the shore within 2 minutes of being notified and two Parks and Wildlife boat crews were searching within 15 minutes.

The victim was recovered within an hour of the 911 alert, the release stated. The Pueblo County Coroner's Office will make an identification and determine the cause of death.
