The BC Coroners Service has identified the North Vancouver man who drowned in Osoyoos Lake in June as 34-year-old Samen Pirzadeh-Tabaei-Zavareh.
Pirzadeh-Tabaei-Zavareh and a passenger were out on a personal watercraft on June 28 when they capsized in strong winds and high waves.
The passenger, also from the North Shore, was rescued by a passing boat but Pirzadeh-Tabaei-Zavareh never surfaced.
RCMP dive teams searched for several days but were unable to find his body. It wasn’t until a private search team with side scan sonar technology made the trip up from Idaho that Pirzadeh-Tabaei-Zavareh was found on Sunday.
RCMP said at the time he was not wearing a life jacket. Impairment from drugs or alcohol was not considered a factor.
Pirzadeh-Tabaei-Zavareh’s family has been notified and is requesting privacy.
The RCMP originally stated Pirzadeh-Tabaei-Zavareh's hometown was West Vancouver.
