Texas game wardens on Thursday recovered the body of Jarod David Dawkins, 27, who was missing since the boat he was on capsized March 17 near Sparta Valley Park on Lake Belton. Dawkins’ body was recovered at 9:03 a.m. just north of the water treatment plant near Westcliff Park.

The week-long search involved game wardens, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rangers and members of the Bell County Sheriff’s Office. Frederick D. Munger II, 39, of Belton, died in the March 17 accident, and three other passengers on the boat survived.

“The investigation is ongoing, but it appears that the boat was overloaded, nobody had a life jacket on and alcohol was involved,” said Game Warden Maj. Rolly Correa, who led the Lake Belton search. “People who live on the lake or spend a lot of time out there sometimes get complacent and just get in the boat and go. This is a tragic reminder that accidents like this can happen to anyone and can happen in seconds.”
