Body pulled from Trinity River in Fort Worth after man drowned Saturday night
A man died after drowning in the Trinity River overnight Saturday, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man as 26-year-old Israel Alvarez.
Authorities recovered his body around 1:20 a.m. Sunday, according to the fire department. Someone called 911 to report the drowning around 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
The drowning happened near Panther Island Pavilion, where a concert — Shaquille O’Neal’s Bass All-Stars Music Festival — was taking place around that time, but authorities don’t believe Alvarez was attending the show. Investigators said he went into the water on the opposite side of the river.
