CUMMING — The body of a man has been found on the Lake Lanier shoreline at Mary Alice Park, authorities confirmed.

Park visitors apparently saw the body this morning as they were walking around the beach, according to Robin Regan, a spokesman for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.

The agency and the Forsyth County Fire Department were on scene to gather more information as and after the sheriff's marine patrol unit removed the body from the water.

Regan said investigators are following up some leads, and the park remains closed while the process continues. It was not immediately clear if foul play is suspected.
