Searchers recover drowned BYU student's body in Utah Lake Jeremy Duda DAILY HERALD Searchers found the body of a BYU student who drowned in Utah Lake over the weekend, week-end, three days after he disappeared disap-peared below the surface of the water. A search and rescue helicopter heli-copter spotted the body of 25-year-old Craig Decker floating in 10-foot -deep water about a mile west of Utah Lake State Park Marina in Provo around 9:43 a.m. Tuesday, according to Utah County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Spencer Cannon. Can-non. Decker's body was found in the "same general area" where he disappeared Saturday Satur-day evening, Cannon said. Decker, a West Jordan native, was sailing with his family when he spotted an oar floating in the water. Lyle Decker said his son stepped into the water to recover the oar, then went underwater and never resurfaced. Flanked by his wife, Marie, and their six children at a press conference at Utah Lake State Park, Lyle Decker said the word "closure" wasn't an accurate way to describe how they felt when searchers found his son's body. "Our love continues, and so there will be nothing to close," he said. Lyle Decker said the family will likely hold his son's funeral fu-neral next week. Cannon said Decker was a good swimmer, and authorities authori-ties are not entirely sure why he drowned. Winds were blowing at about 14 mph at the time, with mild gusts. "It was a little bit rough at the time, not incredibly rough," he said. mm 1 n il in ;- :&Ssiotiii.Qtmlitym j.riuniiiiu: ma Large Selection of Colors & Shies . 725 South 900 East ' Provo, Itah 374-0580 Hteesley Monuments V I A nCTiTTO1ll,'MII;):l'HH I - KfViSlMflfrMIH " " Come in for a quote from one of JXAmdmLimkiA our preferred Home & Auto Carriers 1 V glC Of TRAVELERS P51 J 1 rf ttt 1 m : GHB Hartford 1 H Low-E& Argon , i Ui5 rYtflW1 i mm! ri ii I kss- A Group Bmttt U . ; 1 1 awfflf 1 1 1 1 I I ,1 Lifetime Guarantee 'Energy Efficient KJ III no interest 1 I w "..
