Body Of Missing Man Found After Boat Accident

The body of a man missing after a weekend boating accident on West Point Lake has been recovered but searchers still haven't found the boat.

Georgia Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Jennifer Barnes says 57-year-old William Andrews of Newnan surfaced shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday about 300 yards east of the Horace King Park area of the lake. Andrews had been missing since the boat carrying him and his brother-in-law sank for unknown reasons while they were fishing Sunday evening.

A person who answered the phone Tuesday at West Georgia Medical Center said the brother-in-law, 56-year-old Michael Ramburg of Covington, was listed in critical condition.
