10:55 A.M. | MONROE RESERVOIR

An Indianapolis man died Sunday after he was pulled from Monroe Reservoir in Monroe County.

Indiana DNR conservation officers said 58-year-old Jeffrey Cox was recovered from the reservoir near Allen’s Creek around 3:53 p.m. Sunday after someone reported an unconscious person in the water.

Investigators said Cox had been boating with a group when he went missing while the boat was anchored. He was unaccounted for about five to 10 minutes before he was found unresponsive near the boat.

Cox was not wearing a life jacket, according to investigators. He was pronounced dead around 4:55 p.m.

The investigation remains ongoing. Indiana Conservation Officers are reminding people to wear a life jacket whenever they are on or near the water.
