    The body of a swimmer missing on Lake Travis was recovered Sunday, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office said in a release.

    TCSO says a Houston family rented a boat at Lake Travis on Aug. 28 when a family member began struggling in the water. A second family member attempted to rescue the man. Both went under water and didn’t resurface in the Hurst Creek area.

    One man was found by TCSO on Friday, Sept. 3 with sonar, the release says. The second man was recovered Sunday.
