All details are not yet confirmed but the former Georgia standout kickboxer, who retired in 2006, was on an outing with 2 of his 3 children amd somehow came to be in the lake while they were in the boat.

I'll add more when i get to work.

Very sad. This is a lake i frequented when i lived in this area. Now im about an hour away.

super sad situation. I have to imagine he went into the water because maybe something was dropped off the boat maybe one of the young kids dropped something. Dont want to do a bunch of speculation though.

Disorientation in merky water.
Snagged on something he could not see
Foot stuck in mud if he pushed off the bottom
Hit his head on something he could not see in the merky water
