The man whose body was found floating in Burnsville's Crystal Lake early Tuesday was officially identified Wednesday.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as Andrew Lee Little, 40. Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie said that the man appeared to have drowned.
Members of the Dakota County sheriff's dive team recovered Little's body near the public beach around 1 a.m. Tuesday, two days after relatives reported him missing.
Little was in town from Iowa visiting family and last seen Saturday afternoon swimming toward a boat on Crystal Lake.
