CUMMING, Ga. (AP) — Searchers have been looking for a man they believe fell into Lake Lanier in north Georgia.

The man is believed to have gone into the water Thursday night and never resurfaced, WSB-TV reported.

The man was at Mary Alice Park in Forsyth County, where they believe he was working on his boat when he fell into the water, a Department of Natural Resources spokesperson said.

Search crews planned to be back on the water Friday if necessary to find the man’s body.

Few other details were immediately released.
