"They jumped in to try to rescue him and they couldn’t get him," Cavender told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I don’t know if he started cramping or what was involved. He had some difficulty. They couldn't locate him. And they called us about 2:20."

Cherokee County消防急救中心发言人Tim Cavender说:潜水员找到了溺水男子的尸体。该男子４１岁，从纽约来此度假，在船上跳入Allatoona湖以后溺水身亡。星期天，来自纽约州West Babylon的 Darren Smith跳入水深１８英尺的湖中游泳。午后不久，他的朋友们注意到他正在挣扎。他们跳下水去营救，但是没有能抓住他。不知道他是由于抽筋还是别的原因，反正他遇到麻烦。下午2:20，他的朋友因为无法救到他，于是报警。
下午４点左右，Cherokee County消防急救中心潜水员在 Kellogg Creek 路上的Boy Scout营地附近找到了Smith'的尸体。
星期二就是Smith４２岁的生日。
