Early Friday morning, Tempe police responded to reports of a body discovered in Tempe Town Lake, marking the second such incident this week. The lake, located near Rio Salado Parkway and Mill Avenue, has become the focus of an ongoing investigation.
Details remain scarce at this time, as authorities have not yet identified the deceased individual or determined the cause of death. Officers and first responders retrieved the man’s body from the water, but questions linger about the circumstances that led to this tragic event.
This recent discovery follows the earlier recovery of 47-year-old Michael Reyes’s body from the lake on Tuesday. Witnesses reported seeing Reyes swimming across the lake before he disappeared on Monday night. The reasons behind his entry into the water remain unclear.
