The body of a Utah man who died in a jet ski mishap on Flaming Gorge was recovered on Sunday. Detective Dick Blust, Jr. with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's office says that 24 year old Grant Anderson of Callao, Utah was camping with family and friends on Flaming Gorge's west bank about 25 miles south of Green River when, at about 4:38 PM, a call came in from a family member that Anderson had gone into the water on a jet ski and had not resurfaced. Authorities began a search immediately, but when they were unable to located Anderson before dark, the search was suspended.
Witnesses said Anderson was not wearing a Personal Flotation Device. The search was resumed the next day, at around 8:00 AM.
Blust reminds everyone that state law requires all persons aboard personal watercraft such as jet skis to wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved Personal Flotation Device, or PDF. An autopsy has been scheduled.
In 2007, three men died in the lake in same area. In 1996, 33 year old Rick Nelson, 30 year old Martin Mack Doust and 21 year old John Skip Lords of Green River disappeared in the lake while boat fishing. Their bodies have never been recovered.
