Authorities are confirming the discovery of a body inside the car found in Lake Lanier near a Forsyth County park this morning.
“Next of kin has not been notified and the case is under investigation by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office,” sheriff’sofficespokeswoman Stcie Miller said.
Earlier, Miller had confirmed the finding of the car.
“Yes there is a submerged car in the lake,” Miller wrote in an email just after noon today. “Hall County (HCSO) dive team is on the way.”
A social media post showed a red car in the water just offshore from Tidwell Park. It wasn’t clear, though, what the make and model was.
Tidwell Park is at the end of Pilgrim Mill Road.
