SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The last missing victim from a Lake Tahoe boating accident has been found, bringing the death toll to eight as search and recovery efforts have concluded. 

El Dorado County Sheriff's Office on Monday posted to social media to say the last missing individual from the incident was located deceased and recovered from the lake. 

Search and rescue crews found a dead boater on Sunday evening in the lake. The tragic boating accident on Saturday happened in terrible weather. 

As of Monday, there were two survivors.

The sheriff hasn't identified anyone at this point. Sheriff's officials said there are no more unaccounted-for people from this accident and that victims will be identified when all notifications to next of kin have been made. 

The boat capsized Saturday on Lake Tahoe at D.L. Bliss State Park during a powerful weekend thunderstorm that whipped up high waves, officials said.

Winds of about 30 knots and swells of up to 8 feet were reported around the time the 27-foot Chris-Craft vessel flipped over near the lake’s southwest edge, Coast Guard officials said.

There were a total of 10 people on the boat who fell into the water, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Two people were rescued and taken to a hospital.

Video obtained by KCRA-TV showed moored boats at a nearby marina crashing into each other.
