LAKE OZARK, Mo. (AP) — Authorities have identified the victims who drowned at Lake of the Ozarks as two men from Telangana, India. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Sunday that the victims were 24-year-old Uthej Kunta and 25-year-old Shiva Kelligari. They were graduate students in St. Louis University’s health data science program. Troopers were called at 2:40 p.m. Saturday to help search for two people in the water near Bagnell Dam.
