A volunteer search team looking for a 27-year-old man who went missing last week while swimming in a natural pool at a popular hiking spot near Julian in San Diego found a submerged body on June 19.

Divers made the discovery shortly before 1:30 p.m. in a pool underneath Three Sisters Falls in Descanso, in the area where the missing hiker had last been seen, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
