A family spokesperson said both men were at the park for a cookout on Easter Sunday, when one fell in while trying to clean a grill. The other jumped into the water to attempt a rescue. Both men went underwater and didn't reappear.

A sign in the area warns that the water is dangerous.

At approximately 3:30 p.m. Dallas police located and recovered the body of one of the victims.

The victims was located about 100 yards south of the spillway, according to police.

Police have not yet identified the body.

Family members say the men recently came to Texas from Guatemala and had jobs as construction workers.

Dallas Police and Dallas Fire-Rescue said on Sunday the efforts moved from a rescue to a recovery.

Dallas Police say they have used helicopters, drones, boats, sonar, cadaver dogs and more over the last few days in an attempt to find the bodies.

Some in the Hispanic community have been critical of the recovery efforts by Dallas crews.

Dallas Police say the water was moving too fast for divers to enter the water to search on Monday and Wednesday. 

DPD says they are continuing to search for the second missing man.
