GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas — Updated Monday with the victim's identity.
A 26-year-old man became the fourth person to drown at Joe Pool Lake this summer when he died Sunday, officials with the Grand Prairie Fire Department said.
The fire department's dive team found the man, identified as Alejandro Rea, around 4:15 today after responding to a drowning call on the lake. Rea was not wearing a life jacket when the dive team found him, the fire department said.
They took him to Methodist Mansfield Medical Center in critical condition. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A 55-year-old man drowned in the lake in June, and a 17-year-old boy drowned in the lake in May. Neither were wearing life jackets, officials said.
The Grand Prairie Fire Department reminded people to always wear life jackets in the water.
