By Brad Kellar/Bill Oliver

Lake Tawakoni, TX –

Authorities have recovered the body believed to be that of a Dallas man reported missing on Lake Tawakoni more than a week ago. The discovery was made Friday during the noon hour along the northeast shoreline in Rains County.

The body was taken to Dallas for an autopsy. The name of the 52 year old victim has not been released. He was reported to have been fishing with a second Dallas man the night of April 5th when he fell out of the boat on the east side of the two-mile bridge in Rains County. He was not wearing a life jacket.
