Authorities have recovered the body of a Georgia man who drowned while on an outing with his family on Weiss Lake over the weekend. The incident occurred some 600 yards southeast of the Weiss Mart Marina in the river channel near Cedar Bluff.

The victim, according to reports, was identified as Matthew Huether, 27, of Rome, Ga., who was located early this morning, Tuesday, June 26.

On Sunday evening, June 24, Huether and several family members had been on a pontoon boat late Sunday afternoon, when he went into the water, to check on his young children, who had apparently swam farther away from the boat than he felt comfortable with, said Alabama Marine Police Officer Rick Sides.
