The victim has been identified as 23-year-old Darius Amir Sanders from Youngstown, Ohio.
The search began on Friday when Deputies say they got a call around 6 p.m. of a possible drowning on Wamplers Lake near Jerry’s Pub in Brooklyn.
Deputies say that three males and two females were on a pontoon boat when Sanders jumped into the water to swim.

By the time witnesses reached the area, Sanders could not be located.
The Lenawee County Sheriff’s Marine Unit and Dive Team, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Dive Team, Lenawee County Air Truck, LCA, and the DNR helped with the search.
