A body was found Monday in a Texas lake, the same site where other dead individuals have been found in recent months, authorities said.
A 911 caller saw a body in Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Austin-Travis County EMS said.
The unidentified person was pronounced dead around 1:52 p.m., Fox Austin reported.
Several other bodies have been found in the lake in recent months.
At least five people have been found dead in the lake, which is part of the Colorado River that flows through downtown Austin, since last year.
In June 2023, authorities downplayed speculation that a serial killer might be behind the deaths.
Previous Lady Bird Lake deaths involved men in or around their 30s who had been drinking on Rainey Street near downtown and were later found dead in the water.
Police found Jason John, 30, dead in Lady Bird Lake in February, a week after he was last seen on Rainey Street, which has a popular row of bars near the water.

John Christopher Hays-Clark, 30, was also found in April, washed up near a dam about two miles downriver from where the others were found.
Last week, the Austin Police Department said a woman was being sought in connection with several men who were drugged and robbed downtown.
It is not clear if he is connected in any way to the body found in the lake.
