The body of an apparent drowning victim was pulled from a lake in Burnsville over the weekend, authorities said Monday.
The recovery of the 20-year-old was made about 10 p.m. Sunday in shallow water of Earley Lake, located east of County Road 5 and north of Southcross Drive W., according to the Dakota County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office was alerted about 7:30 p.m. to someone in the area of the lake being missing.
A Sheriff's Office drone spotted the body in the water, and a dive team made the recovery, the Sheriff's Office said.
The victim's identity has yet to be released.
