A dive team from the Hall County Fire Department recovered the body of a man who disappeared on Lake Lanier two months ago.
Xi Zhu, age 56, of Marietta, went missing from an inflatable boat on May 29.
According to Georgia Department of Natural Resource officials, someone spotted his body floating in the Shoal Creek area this past weekend and alerted authorities.
At approximately 3 a.m. on Saturday, July 31, Georgia game wardens, along with Hall County Fire Services, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, and Corps of Engineers, responded to the area and recovered his body.
DNR Law Enforcement Public Affairs Officer Mark McKinnon says there have been six deaths reported on Lake Lanier so far this year, including four boating fatalities and two drownings.
