RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -Authorities in North Carolina say they have found the body of a 30-year-old Charlotte man who drowned in a lake outside of Raleigh.
The News & Observer reported Sunday that Jamal Brinson was found after a 24-hour search in Falls Lake.
The Wake County Sheriff’s Office said Brinson drowned Saturday afternoon near the Highway 50 boat ramp.
Witnesses said Brinson was part of a group of friends that rented a boat.
He drowned after he jumped into the lake to get a piece of clothing that had been blown off the vessel.
Investigators said they are continuing to gather information about the incident.
