Lake Tahoe drowning victim from Stateline

The body recovered from the bottom of Lake Tahoe Thursday has been identified as Roy Ricord, 31, of Stateline.

“Foul play has not been completely ruled out because we don’t have all the facts,” Lt. Marty Hale of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department said.

An autopsy was performed today with no ruling other than drowning. Toxicology reports will take at least six weeks to identify if any alcohol or drugs were in Ricord’s system.

Hale did not know where Ricord worked, but said he has friends on the South Shore and family in the Reno area.

Investigators are still trying to find out Ricord’s whereabouts the night of Sept. 16. He was found early the next morning face down in about 7 feet of water by a captain of a fishing boat.
