Another Found: Dec. 2024 (Courtesy of reporting by John Krinjak and Jenna King)

o   The death was one of at least six near the lake so far this year

o   Another death in the lake sparks renewed concerns

AUSTIN, Texas - There are renewed concerns after the body of a woman was found in Lady Bird Lake over the weekend. This is one of at least six deaths in or near the lake so far this year. 

"Very scary, especially given that I live in this neighborhood," said Neda, who lives near the lake. 

The woman's body was found Sunday, Dec. 1, in the water near Brazos and East Cesar Chavez Streets. 

"A 911 call was received from a kayaker who was paddling upstream and observed some type of object in the water," said Officer Leah Ratliff with the Austin Police Department. 

Police say it appears the woman was homeless, in her 60s, and may have been trying to keep warm, when she somehow ended up in the water. Detectives do not suspect foul play. 

"There's nothing that appears to be suspicious. There's no type of connection that they believe," said Ratliff.
