ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Authorities found the body of a 27-year-old man in Lake Lanier Sunday night.

Just before 7:30 p.m. Sunday, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said the body of Ramon Diaz-Soria was found.

Diaz-Soria was last seen just north of Vanns Tavern Park on Lake Lanier in Forsyth County on Saturday night jumping into the water after the vessel he was on came to a stop.

He never resurfaced, and the life jacket he had been wearing was later found floating on the surface. Residents noted that the jacket had not been properly secured.

Crews suspended the search after dark and resumed it Sunday morning. Game wardens used SONAR equipment to search the area.

Response units from Forsyth and Hall counties assisted in the search.
