As the water level of the nation's largest man-made reservoir keeps receding due to drought, human bodies keep emerging.
For the second time in seven days, human remains have been discovered in Lake Mead near Las Vegas.
U.S. National Park Service rangers said human skeletal remains were found about 2 p.m. Saturday at Lake Mead near Callville Bay. The Clark County Medical Examiner collected the remains and is working to identify the person and determine a cause of death.
The discovery came a week after the decayed body of a man was found stuffed in a steel barrel near the reservoir's Hemenway Fishing Pier, more than 20 miles from Callville, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
