Apparent human remains found in US reservoir as water levels hit record low

Possible human remains, including a jaw with teeth, were discovered at Boulder Beach on Lake Mead, Nevada's largest US reservoir, as severe drought conditions continue to lower water levels throughout the western states. Two visitors found the skeletal fragments while exploring the Nevada shoreline of the reservoir, which straddles the Nevada-Arizona border. Lake Mead's water levels have been steadily decreasing since 2000 and recently fell to 1,040 feet above sea level, breaking the previous low set in July 2022.
