The victim in this past Sunday’s fatal boating incident on Lake Lanier was Arie Elek, 34, of Rockville, Maryland, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Authorities said Elek had been riding on a tube behind the boat when the accident happened on Bald Ridge Creek in Forsyth County.
DNR Law Enforcement Division Public Affairs Officer Mark McKinnon said the incident is under investigation by the department's Critical Incident Reconstruction Team. He said the results likely won't be available for about six weeks.
"Currently no charges have been filed but that could change as the investigation progresses," McKinnon stated Monday.
Authorities responded to the incident shortly after 7:00 p.m. Sunday.
