CHANHASSEN: A man was found dead Saturday night after reportedly going underwater at Lake Ann Park in Chanhassen, according to the Carver County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said they received reports at approximately 7:20 p.m. that an adult male had gone under the water and did not resurface. A large-scale water search was launched at Lake Ann Park involving the Carver County Dive Team and other emergency responders.
Just before 10 p.m., members of the Carver County Dive Team recovered the body of the deceased adult male from the lake.
