More human remains have been found in the receding waters of Lake Mead, authorities announced Saturday.

This is the fourth time human remains have been found at Lake Mead National Recreation Area since May.

At least three different sets have previously been found at the lake, where water levels have plunged to unprecedented lows amid an unrelenting water crisis in the West. A second set of remains -- found on May 7 at Calville Bay -- are believed to belong to someone who was approximately between ages 23 and 37, according to Rouse.
