A man's body was recovered by divers Sunday from a lake in Little Canada, authorities said.

The man had been missing since shortly after 3:30 p.m. Saturday in Lake Gervais, according to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff's Sgt. John Eastham said officials "received a call that two adult males were swimming across the lake. One made it across, and when he turned around, the other man wasn't there."

Divers searched until dark Saturday and then resumed their efforts Sunday morning.

The Sheriff's Office planned to reveal more about the incident later Sunday. The man's identity has yet to be released.
