An Erie woman drowned Sunday afternoon after falling off a boat in Conneaut Lake, according to Crawford County Coroner Scott Schell. 

Kourtney Deese, 30, fell off a moving boat shortly after 5:30 p.m. Sunday. 

Six people were on board the vessel at the time of the incident. 

Multiple scuba teams from Crawford, Erie, Mercer and Venango counties searched the lake for more than six hours before locating the body at 11:58 p.m. 

Her body was recovered just after midnight Monday morning, and was pronounced dead at 12:40 a.m. 

The cause of death was asphyxiation due to drowning. 

The Pa. Fish and Boat Commission continues to investigate the incident.
