I think Connie was just telling Michael what he needed to hear

And for the record,
Lake Tahoe is one of the deepest lakes in the entire country, and the tenth deepest
in the world, measuring over 1600 feet in some spots. It's also said that the pressure in that deep a body of water often prevents corpses from creating the natural gases necessary for a corpse to float.
