The bodies of two swimmers who went missing after they jumped into Candlewood Lake late Monday night were recovered around 11 a.m. Thursday, according to the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP).

Dive teams began their search earlier this week.

Authorities haven't released the names of the victims, but News 12 has learned that the victims were both men, aged 26 and 38.

Three other people were also on board the boat that night, but they weren't hurt, according to officials.
