The bodies of an adult and two small children were recovered from a submerged car Thursday morning by rescue divers at the Fernan Lake boat launch.

The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office did not release any further information about the three victims.

"Due to this being an ongoing investigation and all family members not being notified as of yet, no other information can be released at this time," KCSO Lt. Joe Jovick said late Thursday afternoon.

Jovick said more information about the three people is expected to be released today.

Jovick declined to say whether foul play is suspected or whether alcohol or drugs were a factor, citing the active investigation. An approximate time when the car went into the lake was also not released/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
