Authorities said Wade Wohlford was boating with friends at Davis Cove when he jumped off the boat to go swimming late Saturday night. He never surfaced.

National Park Service spokeswoman Karen Whitney said friends found Wohlford's body about three hours later in water 12 to 15 feet deep.

Efforts to resuscitate the victim failed.

The scene was about a mile south of Katherine's Landing on the Arizona side of the lake.

Wohlford's body was turned over to the Mohave County Coroner's office to determine the cause of death.
