Another hunter found Lehmann dead at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Justice of the Peace Henry Welfel has ruled Lehmann's death an accident, but Tucker said the investigation is ongoing.

An autopsy will be conducted at the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office to determine the exact cause of death. The results could take up to a month.
