Body found in lake


BELMONT—An unidentified male was found apparently drowned in Lake Wylie on Saturday.

According to Gaston County Police Department Sgt. Chris Reynolds, GCPD personnel responded at about 7 a.m. at the Seven Oaks Bridge on South New Hope Road at the Gaston County line, just south of Belmont and the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Reynolds said the unidentified male was floating in the water. The GCPD was notified by a boater on Lake Wylie.


The male was described as white, about 250 pounds, with dark hair, a mole on his right cheek, a mustache and a scar on his right knee.

At this time the exact cause of death is undetermined, pending an examination by the Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday afternoon that should also determine the victim’s identity, said Reynolds.

“We’re just waiting on those results,” he said, “and will release more details as soon as we can.”

Anyone with any information on the identity of this person should contact the GCPD at (704)866-3320 or Crimestoppers at (704)861-8000.
