Posted: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 07:54 AM - 14,577 Readers

Emergency crews pulled a body from Lake Travis Sunday afternoon.

Just before 3:00 p.m., a boater spotted the body floating in about 50 to 60 feet of water near Paradise Cove Marina.

The body has not been identified, so officials could not say if it was or was not the body of the 24-year-old boater who went missing in that area on Thursday.

EMS, Lake Travis Fire and Rescue, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office and the Lower Colorado River Authority all responded to the call.
