HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – Law enforcement officials are investigating the discovery late Monday morning of a man's body in a pond on the Hidden Valley Lake golf course.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office was notified at 11:45 a.m. Monday that the body was found, with a deputy on scene minutes later, according to Lt. Steve Brooks.
While Brooks was able to confirm the body's discovery, he said it was too early in the investigation to be able to offer additional details.
He said the sheriff's office is working now to formally identify the man.
A Lake County News correspondent who was at the scene Monday afternoon said the pond where the body was found is located between the golf course's first and ninth fairways, and is visible from the clubhouse.
Sheriff's investigators, Cal Fire firefighters and Hidden Valley Lake security were among the agencies on scene.
Additional details will be posted as they become available.
