Today at 8:30 AM, in a water hazard on the second hole of La Costa Resort and Spa’s North Course an Environmental Waterworks worker who was cleaning the lake apparently fell into 3 feet of water and then disappeared. A co-worker who saw him alerted emergency crews and two other began immediately search for the man.
He was skimming the water’s surface to remove algae, leaves and debris, when he fell into deeper water. . . It appears his waders filled up with water and he drowned, said Carlsbad police Lt. Kelly Cain. . . . Rescue divers found his body tangled in weeds about 12 feet underwater, said Battalion Chief Mike Kennedy of the Carlsbad Fire Department.
It was reportedly the man’s first day on the job. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
