(KMZA)--The body of a Virginia man was recovered from the Centralia Lake over the weekend following an accidental drowning.

The Nemaha County Sheriff's Office, in a news release, identified the victim as 31-year-old Jesse Dove, of Strausburg, Virginia. Dove was a deputy with the Warren County Sheriff's Office, in Virginia.

The Nemaha County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call Friday morning about a watercraft that had capsized in the lake. The caller advised that there was a man in the water.

Immediately upon receiving the call, multiple agencies responded--including law enforcement, Fire and Rescue, EMS, Wildlife and Parks and LifeNet.

After an extensive search, the Sheriff's Office said it was determined that the response was no longer a rescue, but a recovery. The search continued until dark, when it was determined that the efforts would have to continue early Saturday morning.

On Saturday, the Sheriff's Office said the body of Dove was located with the help of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, along with a local resident who was familiar with the lake.

A procession brought Dove back home to Virginia Monday morning.
