DIAMOND LAKE, OR -- The body of Chimanbai Patel was recovered from Diamond Lake Friday morning. A person walking their dog spotted a body in the water at about 7:45 a.m. and called 911. Douglas County Marine Deputies responded and confirmed it was that of Patel.

Patel went missing last Saturday, after friends said he jumped from a boat to go for a swim. His family has questioned that story, telling Central Oregon Daily News the man didn't know how to swim. 

The Douglas County Medical Examiner's Office will conduct a death investigation. The Sheriff's Office says there is currently no indication of foul play.
