Runners who had completed the 3.5-mile course dove into Marine Creek Reservoir. When Đukić’s opponents started to exit the water and the 28-year-old hadn’t emerged yet, the concern about his struggles in the water was only expressed.
At around 8 in the morning, witnesses reportedly witnessed a guy submerge, according CBS News Texas.
According to Craig Trojacek, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD), other activities were delayed while the search for Đukić was underway.
According to accounts, authorities were aided in the recovery of the remains by dive teams and drones. The victim’s name is being withheld at this time, according to Trojacek, out of respect for their family.
Around 10 o’clock in the morning, CBS chopper supposedly caught video of first responders retrieving a corpse from the reservoir and depositing it in a body bag.
The identity of the 28-year-old athlete has not been officially verified at this time.
