YORK COUNTY, S.C. — Emergency crews on Lake Wylie recovered the body of someone who jumped from a boat and never resurfaced, according to the York County Sheriff’s Office.
Family members said that person was 24-year-old Daniel Moncion.
“He was a warrior,” said Nathaniel Garcia, his cousin. He carried himself respectfully. (It was) the only day off he had that he decided to have fun for the first time in a long time.”
The search began at about 9:15 p.m. Monday near the Ebenezer Park boat landing. Moncion had jumped off a boat and never resurfaced.
Chopper 9 Skyzoom flew over the ramp as crews appeared to have concluded the recovery operation.
They used divers, sonar and underwater drones to find the body, authorities said.
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is leading the investigation.
