Officials say the body was recovered and transported to the GBI, who will carry out the autopsy. Authorities are investigating the discovery of the body.

The body was found in the immediate vicinity of where Troy Cobb's boating incident occurred, according to the DNR.

All that's known at this time is that Cobb fell into the water, and was not wearing a life vest, according to officials.

Investigators do not suspect alcohol was involved in this case.

Crews from the Department of Natural Resources searched the waters using sonar, a helicopter and remote operated vehicles.
