NASSAU BAY – A woman drowned in a lagoon at Nassau Bay.

According to investigators, the woman was at a party on a pleasure boat with friends Saturday night when she went swimming in the Nassau Bay Lagoon, a body of water off of Clear Lake.

Witnesses say she never resurfaced.  About four hours later, a Baytown Fire Department diver recovered the body of 33-year-old Erika Cardenas.

Nassau Bay police say they do not suspect foul play and are awaiting autopsy results to determine if alcohol was a factor in the accident.
