Lake Mead officials are investigating the discovery of skeletal remains found in the area on Tuesday.

If Lake Michigan went dry imagine all of the skeletal remains you would find off shore of Chicago. Vegas would be nothing.

Between drowning victims known and unknown that aren’t recovered and all the bodies dumped there are likely many dead people in that lake

“We don’t know if they’re human remains”
You literally just said they were. They wouldn’t call the news out over animal bones 🤦‍♀️

[benking]

So…. I guess it’s safe to say that
Lake Mead IS NOT “ Bone Dry”

When the lake finally dries up entirely it will be renamed The Lake Mead Cemetery.

Hopefully more families will get answers to what happened to their loved ones

[tolfan]

I'm surprised more haven't turned up. A lot of people have gone missing over the decades

[Smoke-rifx]

Won't be the last. Imagine how many bodies were actually out there still to be found

[alphapred]

What's done in the dark will come to the light

[frankienv]

it make sense that the bodies were dumped in Lake Mead, its a lot easier than digging a hole in the desert in 110f heat.

[robheflin]

As long as that lake keeps going down they’ll continue to find bones

[ernestchacon]

A couple of years ago I commented that I won't swim, dip or boat in any lake, this is why.

Wristwatch inscription says " best of luck, jimmy Hoffa!"

[laurie]

I believe everyone expected this to happen. Even the Mob couldn’t predict this Could happen to Lake Mead!

[joedirt]

Well, you know there are a whole lotta people very nervous right now.... doesn't matter how old you are 👮👮‍♀🚔

[brooks]

Just makes me never want to swim in a lake again.

[michaelkelly]

Lake Mead water now with more vitamins and minerals..

[nickbierman]

Just a reminder people drown in the lake all the time and sometimes the bodies are not recovered.

[KennethGreenCMP]

If it were a dog or cat they would not be there. I can with certainty say its human remains.

It’s kind of creepy to think they’re drinking water that has dead bodies in it.
