Apparent drowning on Lake Hamilton discovered Tuesday morning

Lake Hamilton

A woman's body was found by neighbors on the lowered shore of Lake Hamilton at their shared condominium Hamilton Pointe, 5000 Central Ave., Tuesday morning.

She was known to take regular morning walks by the lake at Hamilton Pointe, and it is suspected she slipped. There is a 5- to 8-foot drop-off from the walkway to the lowered shore.

The Garland County Sheriff's Department responded to the scene, where they made a positive identification of the body.

The woman was a resident at the condominiums for over 25 years, where she also served on the Property Owners Association Board. Her exact age is unknown, but it is confirmed she was elderly.
