COBB COUNTY, Ga. - Authorities in Cobb County said they have recovered the body of a teen who drowned while trying to swim across the Chattahoochee River with his friends earlier this week.
On June 1, authorities said 10 people jumped into the Chattahoochee River near Gold Branch National Park and tried to swim across the river to a popular jumping-off rock. A spokesperson with Cobb County Fire Rescue said the water was about three times faster than normal and caused a few in the group to struggle. Two did not make it to the other side.
