Identifying all 8 victims of Lake Tahoe boat incident.
Authorities have identified the individuals who tragically lost their lives in a boat accident on Lake Tahoe during a severe storm. The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office expressed deep condolences to the victims' families and all affected by this heartbreaking incident. The boat, carrying ten people, capsized near D.L. Bliss State Park due to unexpectedly strong waves generated by a sudden thunderstorm. Despite forecasts suggesting only light rain, the storm brought winds over 35 mph and waves exceeding 8 feet. Two individuals were rescued initially, followed by the recovery of six bodies on Saturday and an additional body found on Sunday. The final victim was located by divers on Monday. The incident highlights the dangers on the lake, as the South Lake Tahoe Police Department noted an average of six deaths annually in the summer, with a record 15 fatalities in 2021.
