Baltimore County Fire and Rescue crews have pulled the body of a Baltimore man out of Loch Raven Reservoir.

Divers recovered the body of a 23-year-old Quentin Robinson late Thursday afternoon.

Earlier today, a County Fire official said that witnesses told county personnel that three friends were fishing on the shore of the Reservoir when the victim went into the water and then went into distress about 20 feet away from the shore.

The friends told rescuers that they tried to reach Robinson, but were unable to, and saw him go under the water shortly after.

Baltimore County Fire received the call just before 10 a.m.

Ten crews, including a dive team and 12 pieces of emergency equipment, are at the scene attempting to locate the victim, but the operation has been changed to a recovery at this point rather than a rescue according to county fire.

Illegal To Swim In Any Reservoir
   Illegal To Swim In Any Reservoir
Thursday, June 10, 2010 
-
Efforts to recover a young man presumed drowned in the Loch Raven Reservoir this evening will resume early tomorrow.
 
Recovery efforts will occur beginning about 6 a.m. under a joint command including Baltimore County Fire and Police and the Baltimore City Department of Emergency Management (Baltimore City owns the reservoir). Tonight, county fire officials suspended recovery operations at about 8:15 p.m. due to the impending darkness and storms.
 
Fire officials received a call at about 6:30 p.m. this evening for a possible drowning at the reservoir, between the Loch Raven Drive bridge and the dam. Rescue crews -- who used all-terrain vehicles to access the area where the drowning occurred -- reported that a group of young people said they had been on the opposite side of the reservoir when they decided to swim to the other side. They witnessed the victim disappear under the water.
 
Rescue crews, including the Kingsville Volunteer Fire Co. swiftwater team, the Middle River Volunteer dive team and advanced tactical rescue crews from Texas Station 17, conducted a surface search by boat using underwater cameras. The Baltimore County Police Department conducted an aerial search using its helicopter. (A total of 24 Fire Department units responded.)
 
Commanders said the section of reservoir where the victim went under is about 90 feet deep.
 
Swimming is illegal in the three City-owned reservoirs located in Baltimore County. These bodies of water are hazardous due to fluctuating currents, which often are especially strong near dams; fluctuating temperatures; underwater debris; and sudden dropoffs.
