Officials: Remains found in Lake Mead identified as College Hill man

A set of bones that were found in Nevada's Lake Mead have been identified as those of a College Hill man.

NBC News reported that the Clark County medical examiner identified the remains as those of Thomas Erndt.

According to an obituary published in The Enquirer, a man died in 2002 in an accident at the lake. The man was a devoted father.

Multiple sets of human remains, dozens of sunken boats, trash, and baby strollers have been found on the edge of Lake Mead this summer as water levels sit at their lowest since the lake was first filled.

On May 1, a barrel containing human remains that police said was dumped in the 1970s or 1980s was found near Hemenway Harbor, and more remains were discovered a week later. The Boulder Beach area was the location where partial human remains were found.

The most recent set of remains were found at the same location as the previous ones.

Five sets of remains have been found in the lake.
