Body pulled from lake

HOPE — The body of a 59-year-old woman was pulled from Lake Pend Oreille at Kramer’s Marina last week, the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office announced on Monday.

The woman has been identified as Joan Lyons of Troy, Mont. An autopsy and preliminary results indicate Lyons drowned.

Lyons body was discovered in a boat slip at about 12:47 p.m. on Thursday, after a 911 caller reported seeing a body in the water.

There were no signs of foul play or traumatic injury, sheriff’s officials said. Toxicology samples are being submitted for examination, but the results won’t be known for several weeks.

Lyons was apparently living on a sailboat at the marina on weekdays while working in the Sandpoint area.
