Body Found In Reston Lake: Police

RESTON, VA -- A Falls Church man has apparently drowned while competing in a swim race at Lake Audubon in Reston over the weekend, police say.

A family member became concerned about 45-year-old Kevin Ruby after not hearing from him for more than an hour on Sunday, and officers discovered that he had never reported in at the conclusion of the race, according to a report from the Fairfax County Police Department.

The lake was searched through the night, but without success. Authorities resumed searching on Monday, and found Ruby's body at around 12:45 p.m. thanks to the efforts of the Marine Patrol, Fire Department Search and Rescue, and Underwater Search and Recovery Team.

Ruby's family has been notified.

"Ruby was a participant in Sunday’s Reston Masters’ Jim McDonnell Lake Swim Event hosted by Reston Masters Swim Team and was reported missing," the Reston Association said in a statement. "The Jim McDonnell Lake Swim Event is put on by Reston Masters Swim Team (RMST) and is not affiliated with Reston Association (RA). As the property owner, RA was notified of the incident and the association is providing support to RMST and Fairfax County Police as they need assistance."
