The Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Tuesday evening, released additional information about an apparent drowning that occurred at Lake Manawa Monday afternoon.

The drowning happened in the swimming area near the Lake Manawa beach around 1:15pm, when 16-year old Edgar Gregorio Loarca Garcia, of Omaha, Nebraska went under the water and did not resurface. It is believed that Garcia was a non-experienced swimmer.

Officials say while his death does not appear to be suspicious, an autopsy will be conducted. The swimming area at the Lake Manawa beach will likely be closed for the remainder of the week, while the investigation into this apparent drowning continues.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources Parks Bureau and Law Enforcement Bureau were assisted by the Council Bluffs Fire Department, Omaha Fire Department Dive Team, Iowa State Patrol, Council Bluffs Police Department and Pottawattamie County Medical Examiner’s Office.
