The Laurel County Coroner tells LEX 18 they believe the body found in a lake Sunday is 21-year-old Andrew Ku of New York, NY.
The coroner says crews were called around 12:30PM when fisherman out on Lake Laurel spotted a body floating in the water.
They said it was found near a boat ramp in the Marsh Branch area.
Kentucky State Police and the coroner were working the scene for hours trying to figure out who the man was.

Fishermen in the area say they’re surprised they didn’t notice anything earlier this morning. They say this lake is a clean one. You can see clearly in some spots but they do say it gets deep quickly and you can only see so far.
“I was here yesterday afternoon and I fish the cove where they found the body. There was no body there then,” said Eddie Evans, who fishes at the lake often.
“It’s a very nice lake, you know, it’s very beautiful with the trees surrounding it and the forrest and everything. Lots of room for everybody to do everything they wanted to -tubing, boating, just everything,” said boater Tanner Walden.
An investigation is underway to figure out how Ku died.
