It was a neighbor who gave the alert.

Sunday, at the end of the morning, the firefighters fished out the body of a man in the lake of Bordeaux.

The police are in the process of identifying the victim.

But according to France Bleu Gironde, it could be the man who went missing on Sunday May 15 while participating with a friend in a paddle outing on the body of water.

They had been surprised by a storm and a strong swell.

One of them had been able to regain the bank.

Only the board and the bag of his comrade had been found during the search carried out for several days by the divers of the fire brigade.
