CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - A man died while scuba diving in a Wyoming reservoir, authorities said.

The Natrona County Sheriff’s Office said the possible drowning happened Sunday morning at Alcova Reservoir west of Casper.

The Casper Star-Tribune reported that people on the scene attempted to provide first aid while medics responded.



He was flown by helicopter to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Authorities have not identified the man other than to say he was part of a group of trained divers. An investigation is underway.
