He was last seen rafting with friends, Aug. 6, on the Chattahoochee River near Don White Park. The body was located using a helicopter from the Department of Natural Resources about 1:55 p.m., Monday, according to a press statement by the Roswell Fire Department.

The Roswell Fire Department along with members of the Sandy Springs Fire and Police, Johns Creek Swift Water Rescue, Roswell Police, Department of Natural Resources, Dawson County K-9, National Park Service, Forsyth County Dive Team, City of Atlanta Fire, and the Clayton County Dive Team, spent the last several days searching for the victim using sonar, cameras, K-9s, and helicopters.

Water levels were down Monday aiding in the search efforts, the statement said. The National Parks Department coordinated the release of water from Morgan Falls and the Army Corps of Engineers restricted the release of water from Buford Dam.
