"He was in the process of going from one raft to another raft when he lost his footing and fell in," McGee said.
His friends threw a life preserver to him but he never resurfaced. They returned to the boat dock to report him missing, about an hour after his disappeared.

Rescue teams returned to the Chattahoochee River in Roswell Wednesday to search for a man last seen swimming Tuesday afternoon.
The man, whose name was released, was last seen around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, swimming from a boat in the area of Don White Park on Riverside Road, Roswell police said.
Investigators believe the man was attempting to go from one boat to another, but instead ended up in the water. Boaters attempted unsuccessfully to throw a life vest to the man, according to police.
Crews searched until dark Tuesday, and the Forsyth County dive team, along with state Department of Natural Resources, National Park Service and Roswell fire personnel resumed looking for the man Wednesday morning.
“The last known location where he was seen struggling was under the river bridge,” Roswell Deputy Fire Marshal Paul Piccirilli said Wednesday.
“We will begin where he was last seen, then, based on the water current and water levels, they will determine which direction to go from there,” Piccirilli told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We will stay out here until we find him or other information becomes available that we don’t need to do that any longer.”

Chemi, hapa kuna maswali mengi. Buyoya Biswalo ni nani? Ni Mtanzania? Alikuwa akifanya shughuli gani Marekani? Kwa sisi tusiomfahamu tunahitaji majibu ya maswali haya.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how this can be main question at a time like this. How about asking if he has been found of if there has been any news, and sending your condolences and prayers to his friends and family, instead of questioning where he is from. Why is where he is from such a concern for you? He lives in the US, as he has for many years now. There, are you satisfied. Now pray for his safe return!
ReplyDeleteVery sad news to hear one of our brother just perish like that. My heart and prayer goes to his family. If those reports are true that they were intoxicated, I hope we learn from this tragedy.
