AUSTIN (KXAN) — A woman was pronounced dead after being pulled from a vehicle in Lake Austin Tuesday morning.
At approximately 3:37 a.m., multiple calls from neighbors came in that someone was screaming for help, a spokesperson for the Austin Police Department said during a briefing.
First responders arrived on scene at 3:52 a.m. and found a vehicle submerged in the water.
The Austin Fire Department said there was a vehicle in the lake about 20 feet from the edge of the water when it arrived on scene.
Rescue swimmers went into the lake to search for anyone that possibly needed to be rescued and found a woman in her 30s in the water and pulled her out.
Life-saving measures were performed, but the woman was pronounced dead on the scene, APD said.
APD also said earlier in the morning that the incident was being investigated as a suspicious death, but the APD spokesperson said during the briefing that no foul play is suspected.
However, homicide investigators were still on the scene actively investigating.
