A Louisville man’s body was recovered from a private pond in Rising Sun, Indiana. Indiana Conservation Officers were called to the scene on Saturday morning after reports of tire tracks leading into the water.
Using sonar, multiple agencies were able to locate a vehicle submerged in about 10 feet of water. The body of Michael Downey, 48, of Louisville, was found near the vehicle. His autopsy was completed on Monday, and his cause of death was confirmed to be drowning.
It’s unclear how or why Downey’s car ended up in the water, and Indiana Conservation Officers are still investigating. Assisting agencies included the Switzerland County Sheriff’s Department, East Enterprise Fire Department, Switzerland County Emergency Response, and the Switzerland County Coroner’s Office.
