Getting your player ready...
A person apparently drowned Saturday at Bear Creek Lake Park and emergency responders are working to recover the body.
The West Metro Fire Protection District dive team carried out underwater, sonar, and drone searches in rescue efforts that later turned into a recovery mission, the fire department said on Twitter.
The 2,624-acre park in southwest Lakewood is popular with boaters, paddle boarders and swimmers. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office will determine the cause and manner of the victim’s death.
Rescue has now turned into a recovery operation.
