LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — Authorities have identified the body that was found in the Lake of the Ozarks on Tuesday.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol identified the victim as 19-year-old Alexander G. Keith, of Lake Ozark. Keith was reported missing on July 1, 2016.

Keith’s body was found by a boater around the 8 Mile Marker on July 5, several days after authorities had searched around the 8.5 Mile Marker. That search was precipitated by the discovery of a PWC adrift, still idling, in that area; the owner of the PWC was contacted and said he had not given anyone permission to use it.

The preliminary cause of death appears to be drowning, authorities say, but the circumstances surrounding Keith’s death are still under investigation.
