Witnesses who spotted the body told detectives they saw the man there a few days ago drinking alone, but no one reported him missing. Detectives said they don't suspect any foul play.
"You always got to be careful with the water, especially when alcohol has been in play it's just a bad choice," said Sgt. Vic Bonilla, Tulare County Sheriff's Department.
