(July 7, 2008)—Authorities report at least eight people drowned in Texas lakes over the long holiday weekend.
Among them was a 3-year-old girl who was found floating in Lake Lewisville in North Texas on Friday.
Natalie Escobar of Carrollton was one of four people to drown at Lake Lewisville over the holiday weekend.
The bodies of three men who drowned in the lake were recovered on Sunday.
Juanita Lagunas identified two of the men as her 31-year-old boyfriend, Ismael Rangel of Houston, and his 18-year-old nephew, Saul Rangel of Lewisville.
The body of 26-year-old Eugenio Reyes of Dallas was pulled from the lake Sunday.
Sunday night, 27-year-old Jose Andrade of Irving reportedly jumped into Grapevine Lake from a party boat and failed to resurface.
Grapevine Fire Department divers found Andrade’s body about half an hour later, police said.
At Lake Ray Roberts, searchers found the body of a 31-year-old man who had gone scuba diving with his twin brother.
The Tarrant County medical examiner's office identified the man as Kenneth Harper of Pilot Point.
On Friday, 13-year-old Shannon Allcock drowned at Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie, and in the Austin area, a Houston man drowned Saturday night in Lake Travis after diving into the water to try to untwist a boat anchor.

Oh the horror!!! That is absolutely terrible. So many lives lost to water. I can imagine what the families are going through. We nearly lost my daughter to a drowning accident last year but Praise God she's alive. These families are in my thoughts and my prayers!!!
