A diver involved in searching for a person who went missing in last week’s flooding in Fort Hood died Sunday morning after sustaining injuries during the search operation, authorities said.

The diver, a volunteer with the Morgan’s Point Resort Dive Team, had to be extracted Saturday from House Creek and taken to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, where the diver was stabilized and then flown to Baylor Scott and White Hospital in Temple, Texas, according to a press release from the U.S. Army operations at Fort Hood.

The diver, whose name has not been released, died the next morning.

"We extend our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the diver’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time," Lt. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, commanding general of III Corps and Fort Hood, said in a press release. "We are grateful to everyone who has participated in this operation over the past six days, especially our local and regional partners assisting in the search."

According to the press release, Fort Hood’s Directorate of Emergency Services boat team called for assistance for a "diver in distress" on House Creek Saturday evening, where search operations were continuing for a person missing since the flooding last Tuesday.

Emergency services responded, as well as more divers from the Morgan’s Point Resort Dive Team.

The divers were looking for a driver who was swept away, likely into Clear Creek near Turkey Run Road at Fort Hood, during the flooding from last Tuesday’s heavy storms in Central Texas. Fort Hood officials said three other people, including at least one soldier, escaped from their vehicles stuck in high water April 10.

Authorities involved in the search effort will release more information about the diver’s death after family members have been notified and "a review of the circumstances surrounding the incident is complete," the press release states.

Investigations will be conducted by Fort Hood officials and the Morgan’s Point Resort Police Department.
