Rescue crews ended their search Sunday for a man at Lake Lewisville who was last seen swimming Saturday afternoon at about 4:30 p.m. in the area near Highland Village, NBC 5 reported.

The body of Eugenio Reyes, 26, was found at about 12:10 p.m. Sunday about 30 yards from the shore near the swimming area of Copperas Branch Park on Lake Lewisville, police said.

Reyes' friends called 911 to report him missing shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday.

There were no signs of foul play or evidence of alcohol use, police said. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office is investigating the incident.

In separate incidents, five other people drowned in north Texas lakes during the July Fourth weekend -- two were children; one at Lake Lewisville and one at Joe Pool Lake.

Three more people died in two separate drownings Sunday.

Rescuers found the bodies of a 29-year-old and a 17-year-old who apparently swam past a Lewisville Lake swimming area near East Lake Park and Northmill roads in Lewisville.

The victims were identified as an uncle and nephew.

In a separate incident, a person drowned while scuba diving on Lake Ray Roberts in Denton, NBC 5 reported.

Apparently, two people were scuba diving when they became separated. One of the pair told someone to call 911 because he couldn't find his partner, NBC 5 reported.

After patrolling the lake, the partner's body was discovered at about 6:45 p.m.
