A man drowned at Lake Tahoe on Saturday.

El Dorado County sheriff’s deputies were contacted June 25 at 11:35am about an unresponsive man in the water east of Meeks Bay with an unoccupied personal watercraft drifting close by.

The reporting party transported the victim to the Cave Rock boat ramp for medical treatment. There he was pronounced dead by paramedics. His name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Detectives are trying to determine if the operation of the personal watercraft was the cause of the man’s death.
