A man drowned at Lake Tobesofkee after a boating accident

MACON, Ga. — A man was killed in a boating accident on Lake Tobesofkee Wednesday night. 

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office says the accident happened at Claystone Park around 10:30 p.m.

Witnesses told deputies two boats tried to go through the same area of water when they collided. 

The crash threw 49-year-old Christopher King from the boat.

People tried to help pull King and the other boaters out of the water, but King died at the hospital a short time later. 

Bibb Coroner Leon Jones says King's official cause of death was blunt force trauma from the collision.

It's the second incident at Claystone within the last month after a man drowned on June 20.

Recovery teams found Samuel Williams' body the next morning.
