Hall County Sheriff's Captain Ed Barfield says that people in the are of Holiday Marina say the Crump may have fallen into the lake and drowned as early as Friday.
Health concerns may have played a part in the accident.
Barfield says,"He had a severe case of diabetes and was declared as legally blind. We feel it is possible that he stumped and slipped off the dock or off his boat and drowned."
Barfield did not know if an autopsy would be ordered to determine if his health was the problem.
For now the death is being treated as accidental.
