BENTONVILLE -- Police are investigating after a man's body was found in Lake Bentonville on Tuesday, according to police Chief Jon Simpson.
The body was discovered after a pilot in flight spotted something in the lake, Simpson said. Lake Bentonville is located at the north end of the municipal airport's runway. The body was pulled from the east side of the lake.
Simpson said the man's identity has not been confirmed.
It's the second time in the past year a body has been found in Lake Bentonville. A 53-year-old Bentonville man drowned in the lake Aug. 2. Police and the Benton County Coroner's Office determined it was an accident with intoxication as a factor.
