Fishermen find body in Lucky Peak Reservoir, coroner identifies man
Fishermen at Lucky Peak Reservoir called 911 on Sunday after they found a dead body in the water, according to the Ada County Sheriff’s Office.
The Ada County coroner identified the man Monday as 31-year-old Timothy J. Williams, of Emmett.
Ada County sheriff’s spokesman Patrick Orr said the fishermen called around 11:30 a.m. to report what appeared to be a body on the east bank of Lucky Peak, near the Charcoal Gulch area.
“Our deputies went out by boat and did find a deceased adult male on the bank,” Orr said. “They transported the body back to the dock, where officials with the Ada County Coroner’s Office took custody of the body.”
The Ada coroner’s office has not identified the cause and manner of Williams’ death, and toxicology results are pending. On Nov. 10, the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office sent out a news release when it was notified of Williams’ abandoned vehicle and campsite on Blacks Creek Road, and his family believed he was missing.
Deputies said they found no visible signs of foul play. The investigation is ongoing.
