WARREN COUNTY, Ohio — The Warren County Coroner's Office has identified the 27-year-old man whose body was recovered Saturday after he went missing while fishing on Caesar Creek Lake.
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones said in a release dive team members were called to the lake just after midnight Friday to help the Ohio Department of Natural Resources with a recovery mission. Officials said Levi D. Keifer of Kettering was believed to be missing when his capsized boat was recovered from the lake.
ODNR used sonar boats as well as ground and air resources before finding multiple targets that required dive teams. Crews from the Butler County Sheriff's Office Emergency Response Service and the Ohio Task Force 1 Dive Team then searched the areas, finding Keifer's body about 30 feet underwater Saturday night.
Warren County Coroner Russell Uptegrove confirmed Keifer's cause of death was drowning.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to the victim’s family," Jones stated in the post on social media.
