I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE BARTOW COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ABOUT A POSSIBLE DROWNING IN ALLATOONA LAKE AT THE CHEROKEE RETREAT OFF WILDERNESS CAMP ROAD. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE VICTIM HAD ORIGINALLY BEEN AT THE CHEROKEE RETREAT AND HAD BEEN PICKED UP BY A GOOD SAMARITAN AND TAKEN TO PARK MARINA AND THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO REVIVE HIM WITH CPR. THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER VICTIM STILL AT THE SCENE AND BEING TREATED BY EMT'S. THE GOOD SAMARITAN, ADVISED ME THAT HE WAS FISHING IN MCKASKEY CREEK WHEN HE SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE WATER WAVING AT HIM AND HOLLERING FOR HELP. THEY HAD AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON IN THE WATER THAT NEEDED HELP, THEY GOT THE UNCONSCIOUS PERSON INTO HIS BOAT AND HEADED TO PARK MARINA. HE SLOWED DOWN FOR A SECOND TO INFORM SOME NEARBY FISHERMEN TO CALL 911 AND TELL THEM ABOUT THE DROWNING AND THAT HE WOULD BE AT PARK MARINA WITH THE VICTIM.
