According to the Austin Police Department (APD), 33-year-old Jonathan Honey was reported missing on March 31 and was discovered dead in Lady Bird Lake, close to Rainey Street, on April 1.
According to councilwoman Zo Qadri, Honey was in town for a bachelor party (District 9).
This is the second time in just a month that a person has vanished and then turned up in the lake.
During a night out with friends in February, Jason John passed away in Lady Bird Lake. Since he was connected to the fiancĂ©e of Honey’s best friend, Qadri claimed that John’s best friend had informed him about Honey’s disappearance.
“I instructed her to get in touch with us if we may be of any assistance. contacted Chief Joseph Chacon and Assistant City Manager Bruce Mills, but they were unable to provide any additional information about the matter at the time they were searching for the individual who had gone missing “added Qadri.
Since John’s passing, Qadri has pushed for extra safety precautions to be taken along the well-traveled trail.
