Dive Team Search Finds No Body Underwater at Vasona Lake in Los Gatos

A Santa Clara County sheriff's dive team searched late Sunday for a reported person underwater at Vasona Lake County Park in Los Gatos but did not find a body at the lake bottom, according to police.

The incident, reported at about 4:30 p.m., occurred near the face of the dam on the lake side of Vasona Lake, Santa Clara County fire Capt. Bill Murphy said.

A witness reported seeing someone go into the water and not come back up, Murphy said, and other witnesses said they too saw an unknown object go into the water as a group of people on the dam fled.

But the dive team did not find a person at the bottom of the lake, Los Gatos police said.

The investigation is ongoing, police said.

No further details were immediately available.
