Body found in Lady Bird Lake: Police investigating near 1st Street Bridge

AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Police Department is investigating after another body has been found in Lady Bird Lake.

Detectives responded at just before noon to a report of a dead person in the water near 1st Street Bridge and the 300 block of Cesar Chavez.

APD says it is a death investigation and that as of now, there is no foul play suspected.

This is one of at least six deaths in or near the lake so far this year and many are concerned.

The most recent body was found on December 1. The victim was recently identified as 73-year-old Thi Lang Nguyen.

When speaking about Nguyen's death, Austin police said that there is nothing connecting the deaths this year. 

Two of those were in the same area where Nguyen was found: on the north side of the lake, within a couple blocks of Congress Avenue. 

In September, a man was behaving erratically near East Cesar Chavez and Nueces Streets. He then went into the water and did not resurface. He was pulled out and pronounced dead. 

Back in February, a woman's body was found in the water about 20 feet from the north shore, between Congress Avenue and South First Street. 

Three other deaths around the lake this year were also ruled not suspicious. In April, a fisherman spotted a person floating in the water at the east end of the lake near Kreig Field. 

In July, a man was suffering from blunt force trauma on the trail near Rainey Street. The man was pronounced dead a short time later. 

In September, a body was found along a trail near the lake off Pleasant Valley Road. 

Police have taken great pains in recent years to put the rumors of a serial killer to rest, saying there's no evidence that points to that. But as the deaths continue, many just aren't convinced.
