The Austin Police Department (APD) said it did not suspect foul play because the body showed no signs of trauma, but was investigating the incident.
Although the APD attempted to allay the community’s fears, questions and speculation grew. Police attributed most of the deaths to accidental drownings due to the lake’s proximity to nightclubs and bars.
