UTAH COUNTY, Utah (ABC4) — The Utah County Sheriff’s Office has released new details regarding the fatal drowning of a 31-year-old man at Silver Lake Flat Reservoir on Saturday.
Just before 7 p.m. on July 12, a 12-year-old girl was on an inflatable tube when she began drifting further out onto the Silver Lake Flat Reservoir. A family member — now identified as Daniel Braga Figueiredo, 31 — grabbed a paddle board and went out to help her, according to the sheriff’s office.
