The 58-year-old Clearlake man – whose name has not been released pending family notification – was discovered shortly before 2 p.m., according to a report from Clearlake Police Sgt. Rodd Joseph.
Officers were dispatched to the 14100 block of Lakeshore Drive on the report of a person in the water, Joseph said.
Police and fire radio reports at that time indicated a possible drowning victim.
When officers arrived, they found the deceased male subject face down in the water, according to Joseph.
Joseph said the man was nude, but his clothes and personal effects were located nearby on the shore.
An autopsy will be conducted in the next few days to determine cause of death, Joseph said.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation are urged to contact Det. Ryan Peterson at 707-994-8251. Callers may remain anonymous.
