The state Department of Game and Inland Fisheries on Tuesday recovered a body believed to be that of a man who went missing Aug. 8 in Claytor Lake, an official with the department said.
The body was tentatively identified as that of Steven L. Seymour, 38, of Narrows, said Sgt. Charlie Mullins.
Seymour was riding in a boat driven by his wife, Rose, about two weeks ago, when a passing boat created a wave and turbulence, and Seymour fell into the water. He was not wearing a life jacket, officials said.
A boater alerted authorities to the body about 3 p.m. Tuesday after seeing it floating near the mouth of Peak Creek, the same area where Seymour disappeared, Mullins said.
The body was taken to the medical examiner's office in Roanoke for an autopsy.
Authorities searched for Seymour's body in the days after the disappearance using a team of divers, a cadaver dog and an advanced underwater imaging system.
The search was hampered by low visibility and the depth of the lake. The water where Seymour is believed to have fallen in ranges from 25 to 90 feet deep, officials have said.
Seymour ran Construction Consultants, which specializes in residential and commercial work such as roofing, decks and additions.
