There were two drownings this weekend - and in both cases, mental illness may have been an issue.
The body of a man was discovered on Saturday afternoon at around 1:30 floating in a lagoon on Blue Marlin Boulevard near Rustic Corner in Ladyville Village.
Police say there were no signs of foul play:
