Los Angeles | IN BRIEF / NEENACH

July 06, 2002

Authorities early Friday recovered the body of a woman who drowned in the California Aqueduct in this small Antelope Valley community west of Lancaster, sheriff's officials said.

The woman, whose name was not released, went for a swim about 10 p.m. Thursday in the aqueduct and apparently got caught in an undercurrent, said Sheriff's Lt. Larry Gump.

A male companion, who did not enter the aqueduct, called authorities. The body was retrieved just after midnight by Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel, who tried to resuscitate her.
