The victim was identified as Bruce Lee Hild, of Winterville.
A spokesman with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources said a 45-year-old man drowned at Lanier Park around 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Officials said he was swimming and went under but didn't resurface. He was pulled from the water by another swimmer.
That victim’s name has not been released pending notification of family.
