A body was found Monday in a Texas lake, the same site where other deceased individuals have been discovered in recent months, authorities said.
A 911 caller spotted 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 discovered in the lake in recent months.
At least five people have been found dead in the lake, which is a part of the Colorado River that runs through downtown Austin, since last year.
In June 2023, authorities downplayed speculation that a serial killer could be behind the deaths.
The previous deaths at Lady Bird Lake involved men in their 30s who had been drinking on nearby Rainey Street in the city center 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 discovered in April, washed up near a dam about two miles downstream from where the others were found.
Last week, the Austin Police Department said a woman was wanted in connection with several men who were drugged and robbed downtown.
It is unclear if she is in any way related to the bodies found in the lake.
