On Saturday morning, a man drowned while swimming at Flat Rock Park on Lake Wedowee. According to witnesses, the victim was near the sandbar and had waded into deeper water to retrieve an inflatable ball when he disappeared beneath the surface.
Two civilian boaters located the swimmer and assisted a Randolph County deputy in removing him from the water and transporting him to Southern Ambulance Transport personnel waiting at the scene. The victim was transported to Tanner-East Alabama Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased.
ALEA Marine Police and the Randolph County Rescue Squad also responded to the incident.
